One June, a few years ago, I was in the kitchen when I heard a tremendous noise outside. I opened the door and saw a hailstorm. The pieces of ice were slicing through the leaves on the mulberry tree, bouncing high when they hit the ground and performing a convincing Ginger Baker solo on the metal garden furniture!
It didn’t last long, just a few minutes, then I stepped out into the garden and started to explore what I could see sparkling in the grass.
This photo is one of many I took that day. What astonishes me is just how every single hailstone looked so different. I suppose it’s the same with snowflakes. Their complexity is also so diverse that every one of them looks different under a microscope.
Isn’t water amazing?
Isn’t it beautiful?
