This photo set of hail is from the month of May. Cold showers like this happen often late in the season, and melt as fast as they come down.
It was a quick trip on the balcony with the macro lens attachment for the mobile. The wild yellow is the moss that had dried up a bit due to sunny days in the previous weeks. The sun kept peeking in between showers, giving me good light for taking pictures.
Tiny bubbles of air trapped in the ice, reminds me of the investigations by scientists, where they dug deep in the arctic ice and were able to identify the composition of the atmosphere across the ages.
Glowing wonderful moments like these are never good enough in a photo. Living the experience is a joy that will be cherished always. Photography seems a futile effort to capture a moment in time, since it can never capture the sounds and the smells. But it will always be able to share a portion of the sight and relive a tiny part that remains in the memory.
Most of the hail here has been small pellets, and not the huge ones that can cause damage. The larger hail storms are in the winter months, and are interspersed with rain and show. We do not get heavy snow here, and what remains on the ground turns grey and slushy. A bane for walking, especially when temperatures drop and the slush hardens to slippery ice.
