Snowflakes

snowflakes on my sealskin mitts from Ulukhaktok

I just got home from waiting for the bus in the snow for a full hour.  It would have been wretched if the snow hadn't been so mesmerizing.  Until now I've never actually seen snowflakes shaped like....snowflakes - the kind you'd make with scissors and paper.  They just make me smile.  AND because each flake is so flat they create a faceted blanket on the ground which sparkles like diamonds.  Amazing.

When I walked in the door I told Danny that was going back out to take pictures and he asked me, with serious conviction, what I had been smoking.  Haha.  He'll understand once he sees it for himself.

Stunning - yes - real snowflake snowflakes!
Check out these images by Paul Burwell - found these the other day - he takes his snowflakes into an unheated garage to photograph them:
