Growing season and daylight saving

Last Sunday we went to Daylight Saving and when I drive home from work it’s still nice and sunny – this finally got me to take some more photos this week. I first took a few photos at a vineyard near Pooles Rock on De Beyers Road and then went past Lakes Folly for some more vineyard shots on Broke Road. Everything is growing and you can see some difference in development in the different grape varieties.

New shoots and sunsets

Spring in the Hunter Valley. I’m pretty sure this is shiraz, planted on one of Audrey Wilkinson’s vineyards.

The Brokenback mountain range is always a great backdrop for photos in the Hunter Valley, especially at sunset

On the Convict Trail in spring

September is such a great time of the year to get out and explore.  Trees and fowers are starting to bloom and the sun makes every day just a little bit nicer.

Here we are out and about on the old Convict Trail near Wisemans Ferry, at the Settlers Inn (a pub with a cat) in St Alban and on the way to Wollombi with some funky letterboxes on the way.

Budburst

An early start to the grape growing season in the Hunter Valley: Budburst and plenty of shoots are all developing with this beautiful warm weather in the last few weeks
