Thanks to wine writer Rick VanSickle for asking me to create a quarterly photo essay for his "Wines in Niagara" website. First up - Spring - March 19 to June 19, 2019.
"Elena spends a great deal of her time documenting the circle of life in the vineyard — from new beginnings in spring, the season of hope, then moving into summer, where warmth and gentle rains give life to the vines, to fall, when plump ripe grapes are harvested to make delicious wines, to winter, the dangerous season when vines are dormant and it’s a fight for survival out there. We are documenting the four seasons in the vineyard with this series."
