Beautiful Big Hail



Yesterday we got about ten minutes of hail ranging from pea size to the occasional baseball size hail. They have this great flower shape like a dahlia or chrysanthemum. Fortunately there wasn't much damage to the garden or trees I'm trying to grow. I'm preserving a couple in the freezer with the notion that I could mold them with alginate, (a dental casting material), and cast a solid piece that won't melt. The problem is getting the mold to set up before they melt. I would love to cast them in glass at some point.
