As I headed out to make photographs, the skies opened up with pouring rain just as I arrived at my destination. Not wanting to be deterred I decided to 'wait it out'. I drove around looking for the type of scene I had in mind, which was to make photographs of the soft appearing, pastel colored buds that were emerging on the trees. And I wanted red ones! After a bit of driving, I found exactly what I was after.

Once it was down to a drizzle, I made my photograph. I wanted it to depict not just how the trees looked, but also how it felt to be at that location in the drizzling rain. It was light and airy there, as there was a gently breeze, with the sun just starting to peek through the clouds. The rain made all the colors appear very saturated. I had an image in my head of the whole scene being very soft focus, like looking through the drizzling rain. That's how it felt and that is what I wanted the image to convey.
