Florida... a stately Pine, near the Intercoastal Waterway has seen many storms and high winds which shaped its branches. The muted brown bark is coarse and irregular, while the limbs, tipped on the ends with fragile looking pine needles, seem to reach out to the sky. A small park on Pineapple Blvd, next to the library is where it was found... Oct. 2009. A pale blue sky with wispy white clouds frames this green soul. Photo was shot next to the trunk.

Chauteau Laurinda is located in Sparta, NC. It is a family owned/run winery. All fruit is either grown by them or by other areas in NC.. only one exception I know of..the fruit for Mango wine... the Mangos come from Florida! The large wrap-around porch has rocking chairs, tables and is used for wine tasting events, I am told. Very friendly souls.. who also have re-furbished an old farm house into a Bed & Breakfast. This is off the beaten path.. have no idea how SKB found it! Each tme we visit the mountains, a trip to the winery is a must ! © All rights reserved 3/12/14 - Now that we live much closer, I think visits might be more frequent ( am getting low on the Mango wine )
