All of a sudden, it seems, the grapes are getting their color. Up until now, all the grapes were green. Now the
cabernet,
côt, and
gamay grapes are starting to mature and to develop their dark tint. The
sauvignon blanc (white) grapes will stay green for a while, then move toward a more golden color as harvest time approaches.
Red grapes in the morning sun.
The past days have been very warm and today is expected to be the peak of our mini heat wave. Then thunderstorms and rain are expected to move in over night and last through the day on Thursday, and temperatures will drop again. It's been a very summery summer, so far.
That's a lovely shot with the various colours coming through!
ReplyDeleteAgree with Craig!
ReplyDeleteAlso that translucence of grapes, which these are beginning to show!
Now wonder, really, that so many artists paint[ed] at least one bunch of grapes...
and photographers follow[ed]!
