Sunset over the grapevines

Bucket of guinea-fowl chicks gathered for bedtime

After Rtveli, Kakheti, Georgia

Rather forlorn-looking vines after the bunches of grapes have been cut off; and corn sheaves tied in cones - autumn has arrived in Georgia

More Guinea-fowl streaking by, and grapes remaining mercifully still

More from the supra (table) and grapevines of the east of the country - 'tis the season.

Kakheti, Georgia

Recent digital work from my new Canon machine, a couple of days in eastern Georgia. Grape season, and a supra (table) at which there were Georgians, Ossetians, Germans and a British-Canadian masquerading as a Svan, complete with his own miniature drinking horn from Ushguli, training-wheels size, which he happily lent to the tamada, or toastmaster.
