  7. These are charming photos. I wonder what's the taste of wild grapes... I love the rain-kissed leaves and the old gravestone.

  8. Hazel: Thank you! Sorry to say, but I have not sampled the wild grapes, though they are free for the picking. They grow along fences, roadsides and forest edges, winding up whatever trees are in the vicinity. So, while I was able to zoom in on these, I could not actually reach them.

    I also know that they are smaller and taste different from cultivated grapes. They're described as tart, sour or bitter if eaten right off the vine, but excellent when used in cooking (such as in jams or jellies).

  10. Love the old gravestone. One of my favorite things to do is travel in the graveyards that pepper the country in New Hampshire. I find it fascinating.

    Good post!

  25. Holly: Thank you!

    Maddy: Why, thank you! *VBG*

    Colleen: I didn't include apples since I'd already posted several pics of them last month. *g*

    STUFF: Indeed I do! In fact, I bundled up and went for a walk in the Arb this afternoon. Wind wasn't too bad once I got under the shelter of trees, though it was a bit eerie listening to them creak above.

    Sandee; Thanks, I'm glad so many seem to like this one. :)
