The season is turning! In the vineyard at Magpie Springs the boys are pruning madly - meanwhile others are busy too, flowers are opening and insects are making the most of it. I hope we get some fruit on this tree this year and honey. Honey Bee On Open Peach Tree Blossom is a close up photograph of the blossom of a peach fruit tree being pollinated by an insect. The peach tree, Prunus persica.

Sometimes depending on the wine makers requirements,during vintage the machine harvester comes to pick. It has to be done at night. The fruit is bashed off the vine carried across on a conveyor belt to the next row where a tractor is towing large bins.... In the heat of the day the bruised fruit would start fermenting. This is the harvester - watching it working is quite a sight.
