Valley view

This time of year my photos tend to get a little "samey." That is to say that the dark days and the cold and wet weather are not conducive to going out with the camera and I end up taking a lot of pictures that I've taken a hundred times before around the house, the neighborhood, and the vineyard.

A view of the Cher River valley from up in the vineyards near our house. Looking roughly north.

And since I'm out once a day with Callie, I'm usually not interested in getting in the car and going even a short distance for a new perspective. If I were someone who makes resolutions for the new year, which I'm not, I might resolve to go a little farther afield with the camera in 2014.

    Take more indoor photos, then, Monsieur Walt! :) You know... Bertie on the fauteuil. Callie drinking from her water bowl. Christmas tree by the window. Dishes in the sink. Inside of the fridge. ;)

    Judy's right. We'd be fascinated with whatever you show us. Let's face it, your blog fans are easy. Your photos are so good the subject almost doesn't matter.

    The winter vineyard photos are still always beautiful.

    This photo on first glance made me think of a musical - with "vine-people" holding candles and dancing!!! (Musical - Beauty & The Beast!)
    See how easy it is to please me!
    Don't worry, our lives are kind of in a rut during these gray days at the end of the year as well!

    Maybe samey to you but I'm in mid-Missouri tonight waiting for the ice and snow and blog weaving. Stumbled on your lovely site, the photos TREMENDOUS! From inside is fine with me, nice to see different scenery. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    Yes, I was wondering when we might hear it is your birthday, again! I thought I remembered it being close to mine!
    Hope you enjoy your day with all of it's glory!
