In spring, when the blossoms come out, the fruit growers always have to keep an eye out for night frost, because the frost dries out the blossoms and the harvest fails. The fruit growers then spend the whole night spraying the blossoms with water, wrapping the blossoms in a layer of ice which prevents them from drying out. For the fruit growers, this is a lot of work and really necessary, but for the photographer on the other hand, it gives a very beautiful image to capture, the delicate blossoms wrapped in ice, the soft golden light of the rising sun, not to mention the occasional cold shower the sprinklers give the photographer.
For the photographer, it's always a challenge to stay as dry as possible, so decked out in a mackintosh ala "flower curtain" a chat with the fruit grower to ask how the night went and for permission to take photos I was also able to give the farmer his morning smile, because take it from me my mackintosh had the laughs.
