Snow is nothing new for me. For 45 years I have been crawling, walking, falling down, or driving in snow, but I have never had a real close look at it before. Well, maybe a long time ago, but I kinda forgot what a snowflake looks like. They all look different, but they all have six usually symmetrical sides. Thats a big word for me, but thats what the encyclopedia told me today. It was snowing this morning and I brought my ice scraper out from the garage. I guess being black like it is, any new snowflakes really stood out and caught my attention. I just had to go get the camera. Little things that amuse little minds. lol.Sunday, January 24, 2010

ReplyDeleteAwesome snowflake photo :o)))
ReplyDeleteThose are so cool! I tried looking closely at the snowflakes when it snowed here a few weeks ago but they just looked like a jumbled mess. Those are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJen:
ReplyDeleteIt was cool, it kinda cut into my building time just a little bit. I looked at alot of different snowflakes for awhile there.
Tony:
Thanks Tony. Ya know, you just don't know what missing out on. lol.
The Sprouting Acorn:
It is pretty cool, I was actually quite amazed at it all myself. I did'nt even really have to look all that hard, they were quite obvious today.
Ezrablu:
Thank you. They WERE awesome. The photo was actually pretty hard to take, until I tried the macro setting.
Annie:
Thanks Annie. I think the colder weather may have had something to do with it. I'm going to pay more attention about it all in different types of weather. I can't remember the exact temperature that it was, but I do remember that it was kinda face numbing temperatures. And I'm guessing about -15C/4F.
You did good on the picture, buddy! Kinda like taking time to stop and smell the roses!
ReplyDeleteVery nice picture!
Thanks Jim. It was a good time out. The snow flakes had me scratching my head wondering how they can make the perfect shapes they do.
