What a Job!

What a Job!

As I scurried around, camera on tripod, in minus 9 degree temperatures, a voice behind me from the vinyard “taking some photos are you?” I turned, rather startled to see a smiling face blowing clouds of fog as he spoke. The powered shears he held in his hand put stop to any thoughts I might have of a customary handshake!

We had barely seen glimpses of human? shapes amongst the fog covered vines as we drove by in our lovely warm van. After inviting me into the vinyard to take more photos he went back to his seemingly endless task of pruning the vines.

    Minus 9 is a little on the chilly side, Neil. Good story and photograph.
