I have such a soft spot for Napa & Sonoma & you’ve captured the area so beautifully ! The colors are gorgeous !
Dangling is so dainty ! So real! I’m thirsty — Pouring a -big- pour ha. CHEERS to you 🍷🍷🥂 Thanks so much for sharing your photos ! I always smile the whole way thru — my husband says to me -what are you looking at ?? Haha. You bring beauty & joy to my ‘screen time’ (which I’m trying hard to pare down to only sheer necessity & joyfulness) .

Hi Diane, I love wine country this time of year. The grapes are so inviting…not as inviting as that glass of wine you just poured! I’m so glad you are enjoying my work and that you’ve stuck with me. 😊
Thanks so much for your wonderful comments. I hope this finds you well!
