I’m not the world’s best photographer or wine connoisseur, but I’ve decided to do a series of not-fabulous-but-kinda-fun photos shot through wine with the iPhone. This is the first one, which I took nearly a year ago, of our less-than-idyllic backyard. (I wonder if there are any other words I can possibly hyphenate in this paragraph.)

Here is the second in the series, not shot with the iPhone for obvious reasons.

Production note: wines used for the … Through Wine series are rich, oaky, buttery chardonnays. I know it’s very “suburban mom,” but that’s just how I roll.
