What a surprise walking through the Northern vineyards today. I have never seen grapes ripen this way. Some grapes are almost ripe, some grapes in the same bunch are barely developed. It has been a strange spring and summer here. I hope the vineyard does well and has a good crop for the harvest this fall. The Marquette grapes are a relatively new grape, propagated by the University of Minnesota to be cold weather hearty.

Nice shot... might have looked tastier if you'd washed them

I like the different colors of the fruit. I did something similar in my garden last week [thumb]//farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3755327732_c898563bbe.jpg[/thumb]

Love the vivid colors; they just jump off the screen.

I love the sense of balance in this image (colour and shape). Beautifully composed and the surface texture of those grapes is very vivid. Simple and well thought out!
