Shooting stuff with my Canon :)

Went for a drive looking for something to shoot with my Canon.  We are living in the heartland of a huge wine industry and the grapes are abundant right now. Also I knew by the clouds out today that there was a chance of a great sunset. So we drove around looking for a good spot. This is what I came up with.

Stuck in Lodi again....................

Stuck in Lodi

Well we aren't really stuck but I love the old CCR song. We moved to Lodi in January after living in the foothills for 32 years. I must say we have adapted nicely. It is nice living so close to my kids, work, sister and not to mention conveniences. As a photographer it is nice being somewhere different with different picture opportunities, and I have found many right here in Lodi. I love living near all the vineyards, I find great beauty in them. So here are a few of my Lodi pictures.

Vineyards and Grapes

I have a fascination with vineyards or even orchards for that matter. I think it is the leading lines that draws me to them. They are so beautiful all year long. I love them in all seasons. I am drawn to bare trees and vineyards. Here are a few of my favorite shots taken at different vineyards around Northern California.
