T/Twisted

 Grapevine

Grapevines twist themselves as they grow to anchor themselves...and wild ones can be a real pain to cut out of trees and shrubs. Yep, I can tell you all about that!

 'The Knot" by Fly Freeman

This is one of several sculptures donated by local sculptors to the Town of Uxbridge, Ontario.

Christmas lights

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

    Do I see a bit of frost on that gnarled grape vine? At first , I thought the sculpture was actually a cut tree. The sculptor really fooled me. And, yes, it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

    Neat shot of the grapevine. Living in wine country I bet there are a lot for me to go out and find just like that one.

    I never thought about photographing the twisty grape vines! They are ubiquitous here!

    So, you're saying, to drink the wine you've got to untangle the vine? Back about 1960-61 we lived in Scottsdale, Arizona. There was a vineyard a few miles away. You could pick your own red and white grapes - for 5 cents a pound, or you could pay to have them picked and bagged for you for 10 cents a pound.

    I don't think you find that's the case anymore. :)

    BTW, are you making fun of me just 'cause sometimes I get tongue-twisted? ;)

    What a great close up of the grape vine. I like the sculpture too. I'm not really ready to think about Christmas but I suppose I'd best get with the program

    Someone put up some lights on the tree in front of my building. And it's getting cold here - I'm ready for some holiday action!

    I am tying knots, putting a dummy warp on my loom. Almost 500 of them, - I don't like to contemplate knots, but admire your grapevine.

    I really like your concept - BUT, now my mind is playing "Twisted" by Joni Mitchell . . . (seems my thinking has given your blog a soundtrack today . . . ha!! unintended collaborative effort . . Great photos, thanks!

    My mom and dad used to have grapevines in the back yard. When they would trim the vines after summer, they would twist the stems into wreaths to decorate for the holidays. Guess that's twisted twists. - Margy
