Ever since I found out that there is an operating vineyard near us, I have been wanting to go and take photos of the grapes. We grow a few grapes on an arbor in our yard, and I mean "a few". But I wanted to get the chance to see lots of them, and have some shots to choose from. So, yesterday after work, I drove up toward West Monroe, and found Landry Vineyards, on the old Natchitoches highway. It is not a large place, but quite nice. They have a gift shop and tasting room inside, and a large gathering area outside under a covered patio. There were only a few people there..it had been raining off and on all day. I got out and asked permission to go out into the vineyard, and they said yes. It was pretty wet, but I wandered among the vines, searching for the areas that had not yet been harvested. I found quite a few of the dark purple, or almost blue grapes. I don't know anything about them (someone will have to comment and tell me what they are). But I finally did a scripture photo using one of the results. I will do a couple more with a few other scriptures I have been waiting to use till I had some grape photos...yay!! sheltongail@hotmail.com I leave in the morning to go to Lake Charles and do a teacher inservice on colored pencil for 60 Art teachers on Tuesday morning. It will be a blast...and I will try to post the event. |
