Poisson d'avril

Here we are on the first of April! But we're still suffering a stubborn spring. It's so not spring-like that I typed March instead of April. Turns out, I'm the April Fool. Even Tasha was saying, "Huh?"

Blurry grape leaves. The camera focused on the wrong stuff.

There's a section of a vineyard parcel just to our north that is planted in chardonnay. I believe the grapes are used for blending in the winery's sparkling wines. Imagine my surprise when, while walking over there last evening, I noticed that many of the vines already have leaves! Better pictures soon. Happy March April! 

Just so you know: I had two ideas for a post this morning. As I worked on them they sort of merged. When I tried to separate them, this is some of what I got. What a mess.

    Every photo - perfect?! I like today's because it is like a puzzle - I'm searching for the interesting parts that may be hidden! Turquoise is one of my favorite colors - our birth month stone! That shell is extremely intensely colored (did you enhance the color - or perhaps it is the lighting? Anyhoo -- Interesting shell with all those black specks! Wish I had an April Fool's joke for you today. I like to try to fool my friends. Guess I better get on it!

    mary, I don't think I processed the photo, except for some cropping and basic light (contrast, shadows, etc.).
