Another of the little visitors in our harvest bin! This time a Mediterranean tree frog that was in our Cinsault!

Another, tiny, guest in our bin of grapes (this time, Syrah). It looks like Heriaeus hirtus, a type of crab spider.

Supposed to be found throughout Southern Europe...

Right around the time I start taking grape maturity samples the wild figs start ripening - it's lovely to take a pause and eat a fig or two between walking the rows... :-)
