Fire and Ice

We have had a rather busy day to day clearing up after the massive hail storm last night.

Yesterday was a very hot day and around 6 pm a massive storm hit with hail the size of golf balls.

Today we have been sweeping up the damage and chopping broken limbs from our trees. Luckily no damage to the house or the cars as far as we can see.

It has been another rather warm day, but at least cooler than it has been the last week. Still pretty windy too, so that made sweeping up leaves and twigs rather difficult as they were being blown around in the wind. We have managed to clean up most of the damage though.

I had the idea for this photo a while ago, but it wasn't until last night that I had chance to put it all together. I am pleased with the result and it looks quite nice on black.

A great shot Babs, such a pity about the storm though. The weather seems to be going crazy all over the world :-(

wow that looks awesome - but hail storms are no fun!

I hope you didn't get too much damage during the storm. It didn't reach here but it sure has been windy. This photo is fabulous!

Your photo does look good but the storm sounds very scary.
April 15th, 2018  
What a great idea - very creative, as always. Winds down this way have been very strong, too, but no hail fortunately. Hope it improves for you.

Nice shot. Ah, sorry about the storm. They do make such a mess, don't they?
April 15th, 2018  
A lovely capture. Sorry to hear about your storm.
April 15th, 2018  
Great shot but sorry to hear the storm left you with a lot of clearing up to do
April 15th, 2018

Well done. A fabulous shot, great on black.

Nicely done

Glad to hear that there wasn't any damage to your house. It has been very windy here again today and very cold. I am so glad I called the SES out yesterday, as I am sure the tarp would have gone flying down the street.

You are so creative Babs. This is marvelous on black, as you said. When we have hail it’s alwsys our roofs that have to be replaced, maybe you lucked out and your roof is fine.
April 15th, 2018  
It looks fantastic Babs - such a great idea.
April 15th, 2018

That is a great concept and so well done.

Jeff spent yesterday picking up most of the twigs and branches which came down from our last three storms. There is a huge pile of twigs next to the wood pile now. Glad those hail stones did not damage much- I've only seen that size on video. The largest we ever had was the size of a corn kernel. This is really clever- merged perfectly!

Fav.

Clever idea Babs
