every time it snows
the flakes look different
they fall through the sky differently as well
today they were floating
softly
slowly
landing in piles
today they look like we imagine
when we think of snowflakes
tiny crystalline stars
I do mean tiny, like the size of a sesame seed
~
I put out the red cloth for them to land on
the other photos are taken on my car
we are officially in the season of snow and ice
i love snowflake season

Awesome pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...these are so delicate, Tammie! I can hear "The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" and "The Skater's Waltz" in my head when I look at them. :-)
ReplyDeletelove that you can hear music when you see them
Deleteyou have inspired a smile
That is, each snowfall is different and draws its flakes.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
I fully agree with the Furry Gnome, awesome pictures! In the middle of last century, snowflakes could only be photographed through a microscope. Amazing that a camera can do it now. The wonder is that with gazillions of snowflakes, each one is different. Maybe that is mirroring the stars in the sky.
ReplyDeletePS I am addicted to the wonder of snowflakes and even created a couple of knitting patterns for our family's ski jumpers.
wow, snowflake knitting patterns does not sound easy, but does sound beautiful!
Deletesnowflakes surely are amazing!

Hi Tammie, I showed the kids in my class these today. They were so impressed (you were classed as awesome and "sick", which trust me is the highest accolade an 11 year old can bestow). Fabulous photos.
ReplyDeleteEach snowflake does look like a miracle!
ReplyDeleteOh how truly wonderful! This is what I envy you the most in your magical place, these snowflakes and white world, what a treat for the senses and oh so magical, enjoy and thanks so much for sharing!

Such wonderful captures.. very well done.
ReplyDeletesuch beautifully detailed images Tammie. It's a true privilege to see this wonder of nature.
ReplyDeleteDear Tammie - How magically beautiful! I simply wonder that those who have macro lens can capture such fascinating snowflakes like yours? Thank you for braving the cold. After a week of cold winter days here in Nara, I’ve enjoyed Indian Summer days these days. As snow is rare treat here, I look forward to snow-scape from you. Stay warm.
