Merry Christmas my friend.
That can't be a real snowflake. Can it? It looks glass to me. Either way it looks amazing. Great Blog... you have a new follower all the way from Austin TX.
What a beautiful present! Thank you for the magic of a saved snowflake.

I blogged about Wilson Bentley's amazing snowflake photographs the other day! Great minds must think alike! I'm glad I stumbled upon your blog...through blogs of note!
"Snowflake Bentley" was one of our favorite books when the kids were little. Perfect time to post this!
Hi carol,
I can't decide if it's that a snowflake itself is amazing, or that I'm looking at a snowflake that lived for a brief moment over a century ago.
I think it's both.
@My Castle in Spain: I will if you will, dear Lala. Sadly, the snowflakes I will see in San Francisco are only in a photograph!
@Yoli: Gracias!
@Kath: Happy holidays, my dear VP. I hope you are staying warm up there in the Great White North.
@unitqm: It is a real snowflake, and I think the medium of photography at the time makes this photo look like a beautiful illustration. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. I am glad you're here!
@Cynthia: I will try to share some more wonderful photos from this exhibit. I'm glad there's a way to capture a snowflake, since there are so many of us who never get to see them in reality.
@Gabby: Wow! That's beautiful! Thank you.
@Christina: Someday I know you'll take a photo of a snowflake that puts all of the other snowflakes to shame!
@Betsy: did you really? I will come over to see what you've written. Thanks so much for finding me. I'm glad for your visit.
@dutchbaby: I am just amazed at these images he took. And devoted his life to them. Just pure gorgeousness.
I know. I know. I do a series oflessons using Snowflake Bentley every January.
