The New Vineyard

The early light was glorious this morning.  I tarried on my early walk just to stop and capture the light on the hills and surrounding landforms.  There was no wind, the birds were singing and little fantails were flitting around in the trees.  Perfect…and peaceful.  I enjoyed talking with other dog-walkers, many of them friends of longstanding.
Here the early sun is sneaking across the grasses and wildflowers to an area of new vineyard on Meadowbank Station.
