AFTER THE RAIN
A vineyard in Sonoma's Dry Creek Valley AVA after a rainstorm, showing saturated colors and soft mists with lavendar and pink tones above the rich jewel tones of the vines.
HARVEST MORNING
An intensely colorful image with the feeling of the rolling hillside, shooting from below the vines, showing the rows repeated against the olive tones of the hills. Very rich details, lush colors.
RIVER ROAD VINEYARD*
Gorgeous display of fall color in the Russian River AVA vineyard SaraLee's Vineyard, along River Road at Slusser. The building shows an ochre colored growth of lichen. *This photo won second place in the 2010 Sonoma Harvest Fair and is price higher as a result.
ASTI VINEYARD
This is a breath taking photo and you can almost smell fermenting grapes in the autumnal image with late harvest colors against fluffy clouds and an azure sky. This photo was taken in the charming town of Asti, famed for Asti Spumante.
Section 2 prints
WESTSIDE ROAD HEALDSBURG
One of the most beautiful views in Sonoma County, looking north over head trimmed old vine Zinfandel vines to Healdsburg. Shot on Westside Road, one of the prettiest drives in Sonoma, running from Healdsburg to Guerneville. Russian River AVA.
OLIVE TREES
This beautiful display of olive trees is along the Geyserville Winery vineyards. This photo is a shimmery, exquisitely detailed image showing the rough bark of the trees and the beautiful silvers, greys and greens of the olive trees. Late afternoon sun gives an overall feeling of warmth. Very classical in feeling!
RED WINEGRAPE LEAVES
This is an unbelievable photo showing wine grape leaves at the height of their fall color. It is an unenhanced, true to life photo shot in the Alexander Valley. The leaves have a rich surface texture and are edged in a delicate gold.
OAK HILL FLOWER FARM
This charming photo is reminiscent of souther France, with bright orange poppies and fushia cosmos in a row leading to an old red barn.

CABERNET SAUVIGNON GRAPES
Photographed on the day they were picked, with a strip of bark and some beautiful harvest leaves, this photo has beautiful colors and textures against a black background. The award winning grapes are from the aCure Estate.
WINDMILL
Even though the newer wineries are very glamorous there is still the charm of the older farms and vineyards. This is a late afternoon shot over th e sun kissed upper canes of an autum vineyard looking past an oak bough to an old wind mill in the shadows of the past.
ALEXANDER VALLEY HARVEST
The brilliant ruby and cranberry tones of the late harvest are beautifully displayed against the olives and dun colors of the Alexander Valley Hills. The leaves are backlit and glow with warmth and a dazzling array of colors.
SARALEE VINEYARD WITH LICHENS
Lichens are a part of the terroir of the Russian River AVA, due to the prevailing fog and marine effect of the nearby coast. This photo is a color study of the harvest vines in late October, against a building covered with ochre colored lichen growth.
