Pruner by grammyn

Pruner

A cherry tree orchard was right next to the road and we saw this gentleman working at pruning the trees. He had a hand made A shaped ladder that was about four feet high that he used to get to the higher branches of the trees. They must have been dwarf trees because they weren't very tall and that ladder served perfectly. He very generously granted permission to take his photo and continued working at his task.
What an awesome capture! I love how he is so focued on the task at hand :) What a neat find :)

I can just picture you concentrating just as hard on getting this shot just right as he is on getting his pruning just right. And your concentration paid off... it's fantastic! :)
