Oh Beautiful Vines.

The stuff of legends...

Elegantly floating in midair it almost reflects what happens when we taste the fruit of vines once changed into precious liquid. Marvelous, isn't it when one considers that wine is a natural derivative of fruit. How healthy can one get?
Not to forget the fruit that supposedly launched old D himself...The last two resisters to gravity create a welcome bit of liveliness on a tree heading for hibernation.
The other afternoon I was reclining in the lounger outside surrounded by felines and this divine stock of vine. The sun's angle couldn't have been more perfect to showcase the intricacies of each vein inside the vine...
Odd how some are still a healthy and youthful green!
This particular vine is two years old and has surpassed Bob's expectations. At one stage he thought it had withered but thankfully not. Next year there surely will be some grapes on them?
The nerve endings seem to fizzle with energy when held up against the light. Nature is genius. Just think that each and every year leaves get created from tiny shoots in the stem. Brilliant and rather awe inspiring.
