This last Saturday I hiked to Happy Hallow Park. Happy Hallow Park is in West Lafayette. I live in (east) Lafayette. It is about 5 miles from my house. A storm passed through the evening before and rained hard for a short while. But it was not that bad here.
As I was walking to the park and getting near it I began to notice there were a lot of leaves on the ground. At first I thought some maybe someone had been trimming the trees. About a quarter block for the Indian Trails entrance to the park I notice a pile of ice. I though someone dumped a cooler of ice. Then I get to the enterence and see this. Piles of hail stones from last nights storm. They were everywhere inside the park.
Then as I started down the trail I saw this scene. I pulled out my tripod and went to work. The shots did not come out great but I still like them.
All along the side of the trail there were patches of 1-2 inches deep hail stone piles. This was at least 12 hours after the storm. As you can see the path is covered with leaves knocked down from the trees.
