Pollak Vineyards is a small family owned winery founded in 2003, located west of Charlottesville, Virginia. Pollak Vineyards is one of the 33 wineries located along the Monticello Wine Trail in Virginia. September is when the grapes are normally harvested along the Monticello Wine trail. On this September morning, we walk through the vineyard to get a close look at the Pino Gris grapes on the vines, which were ready for harvest.
Maiden ornamental grass is a favorite landscape border. On this fall day I was searchin for the last of autumn colors and the rows of ornamental grass caught my eye at the Arboretum in Richmond, Virgina. On this fall afternoon the sun illuminated the blades of grass with a silvery effect.
