Hail Storm in Zagreb Croatia- Guest Post
In my email this morning-
Dear Mom,
A hail storm broke out in Zagreb today and my friend Maja captured it with her iPhone from her 9th floor office. She was a little bit reluctant to be blogged, but she had this to say about the picture : “It looked so great and it made me so happy that I wanted to share it.”
And it reminded me of the sentence from the film “American Beauty” – “Sometimes there’s so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can’t take it, and my heart is just going to cave in.”
I think that quote is a great motto for us to live by. You and your blog do a great job reminding us all of the beauty that surrounds us every moment of every day, so I knew what to do with Maja’s picture right away!
Love you,
Matty
Thank you Maja for sharing your beautiful photograph of the hailstorm from the ninth floor window and thanks Matty, too.

I never used to talk about it much
or even pay attention to weather.
Lately it’s impossible to ignore!.
Pittsburgh just had a big hailstorm about ten days ago. What a sound. When it stopped I went out and photographed a few patches of lawn. Haven’t gone anywhere in a couple of days and was wondering what to post. Thought I was going into the archives. My answer arrived after the thunder and lightning! Someone told me it depends on the size and wind and all but some hailstones can fall to earth the speed of a major league pitch.

After the Hail Storm, Before Elton John
Traffic- downtown Pittsburgh, in every direction! I was on my way to class, not the concert.
You know how I like to take photographs when I am stopped at a red light. It was Wednesday night on my way to class. I had just come through the hail storm from the South Side. What could the traffic be? Rush hour for sure. The storm. And I see a guy on a corner I NEED TICKETS. Penguins? Nah. Elton John Concert traffic on top of everyone’s commute home. There is never a good way to get from Point A to Point B in Pittsburgh, especially if you are in a hurry!
