Grapes Outside My Window

There are windows overlooking the sea or mountains. I have a window with grapes hanging behind. That's maybe even more lovely than a seascape. I could rip it off, but first I need to stand on the windowsill and I'm afraid it won't hold. And why? Let the bunches hang as a decoration, let birds eat them if they can. I mean, many grape grow in the area, and birds, it looks like, can't handle this crop.

This is not a garden by a private house, this is an apartment in a shabby Soviet residential high-rise building. The vine grows on its wall. There are many here and there.

There are also vineyards between these houses. Black and purple, green, yellow, pink, orange, so many shades. I came to Tbilisi, Georgia a month and a half ago but still admire these scenes.

These images aren't from a farm or museum of the vine. All of them were taken within 200 meters from the place I stay!

That picture of the cat in the set isn't random. She lives in the same yard but, what is more important, this is how I feel when I see ripe grapes hanging on a vine. That's very cosy to have them outside the window.

I took these images with a Nikkor 70-300mm on a DSLR Nikon D750 in Tbilisi, Georgia in October 3 / October 14, 2022.
