Hello everyone 😁.
Today day started beautifully, with the sun shining and a lovely morning.
I did my usual routine went for a run , do 5 to 6 sprints and had a nice breakfast.
After some time things took a turn when dark clouds rolled in around 10:00 a.m., and it started raining heavily.
The rain poured down for two hours straight, soaking everything around me. Once it finally stopped, I headed out to my fields. I was excited to capture the peaceful scene after the rain.
I noticed some drops falling from the branches of my apple tree and took some beautiful photos of them. The green leaves looked even brighter with raindrops shining on them, creating a perfect scene for photography.
After enjoying the beauty of nature and having lunch at home, things took a turn.
Out of nowhere, hail started falling from the sky. The hailstones were big and kept coming for more than 20 minutes.
Where there are lots of apple trees, it's really important to protect the delicate flowers apples and buds from hail. We use nets held up by bamboo poles to keep them safe.
But this hailstorm was so fierce that even the nets couldn't handle it. The hail piled up between the nets, making it look like winter in the middle of spring.
My brother and I hurried to the fields, scrambling to clear the nets of all the ice.
The photos show just how tough it was, with the nets weighed down by all that hail.
It took us about an hour to clear all the hail from the nets.
We used spare pieces of bamboo to push down the scattered hail that had piled up on top of the nets.
Even though the hailstorm caused chaos and posed a threat to our apple orchards, I felt grateful for the protective nets. They did a great job of preventing significant damage to both the apples and the delicate blossoms. It was a stark reminder of how powerful and unpredictable nature can be, and it showed us the importance of resilience in facing its challenges.
In areas where there were no nets on the trees, the flowers fell heavily to the ground, creating a beautiful collection.
Some branches even lost their leaves and some got so damage by the hailstorm.
Lastly, I want to thank our local gods for protecting us from the storm and preventing more damage to the trees and flowers.
Thank you for reading! 😊
