“This bend in the road is a remote corner of the Alexander Valley,” says artist June Carey. “I go there to escape the congestion of the rest of the world — I don’t want to share the actual location, really! The chickens and geese wander happily through the vines, eating insects they find hiding under leaves and in the grass. The summer days are long, allowing the grapes to mature in their own good time. Tiger lilies and summer grasses support the wobbly arbor that tempts me to wander just a little bit closer.”
