Hello Hive family, I hope you are all doing well.
The recent snowfall in Narkanda over the past few days has made the scenery incredibly beautiful. This snowfall is not only beautiful but also a blessing for the apple orchards here।
For the past three months, there had been no rain in this region, which caused a severe drought in all the orchards. There was a significant lack of moisture in the soil, and many essential winter tasks were put on hold. With the snowfall, the soil received ample moisture, and work in the apple orchards will now resume.
These days, we are busy preparing to plant new apple saplings. Along with this, fertilizing the plants, preparing the soil, and other necessary winter tasks have also begun. This time is very important for the apple orchards.
However, snowfall also brings some challenges. Due to heavy snowfall on the higher peaks, the power lines broke, resulting in a power outage throughout the area. Life slows down a bit during such times. We, who live in the mountains, are accustomed to these conditions. During snowfall, we also get some time to relax, but it also becomes essential to take special care of our livestock. Protecting them from the cold, feeding them on time, and keeping them safe is our priority
.
Amidst these beautiful and challenging moments, I have taken some pictures, which I am sharing with all of you. I took these pictures with a Sony a58 camera and edited them on Snapseed. I hope you all will like these pictures.
