Grapes of Joy -- Safed grapevines

Friends of mine have this wonderful grapevine in their front courtyard. The house is multiple rooms looking onto the gated courtyard.

Right now the grape vine is in full greenery, with grape clusters ripening in the early summer air. Truly lovely.







This one makes you want to say , "Is it live or is it Photoshop?". The grapes look almost like plastic grapes right now.












Looking up at the clusters from below, with the sun on the leaves.
You have to admit, I live in a very picturesque little town.

Windows of Opportunity

I was purchasing some stock photography today, and realized that maybe I could sell some of my images as stock photos.

Many of the photos that look good on screen don't print as beautifully. I like to send my pics to print to make sure they'll look good printed.

The local digital photo store has a website to upload images. Then I just drop by to pick up my prints and pay for them. It's a little store in Tsfat, but I really like sending in my prints via the net. http://picdigital.co.il/

So I'm thinking that pics that don't print quite as stunningly as I like (who me, picky?), I could sell as stock photos. Have to check into the specs. My camera is only 4.5 Mb memory, so there's a limit to the size that prints well at all.

For instance, this picture is very pretty, but the really nice shot of this window can be seen at http://www.jewishbyte.com/store.php?i=105799517/roshhashanah.29667456
