Curious

It's been a curious day. After a glorious sunny morning the sky turned dark in a few moments and hailstones of various sizes - most the size of peas but some as big as large walnuts - started bouncing off the ground. Hailstorms lasted for the best part of the afternoon and there were only short intervals in between.



I don't think the pic does it justice but may give some idea as to how all this looked.

Great shot!
Usually we get a short hailstorm; but never lasting over the afternoon - I can't imagine.

I love the patterns in the photo and the streaks of the hail. I hope you didn't get thumped!
