A Little Gem

    Amazing capture... I've never tried photographing snowflakes... course we'd have to have some snow first! Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #69!

    Is that a REAL snowflake??? It looks like glass. You can tell I don't see snow but once every 10 or so years...and then not a lot of it.

    Stewart: You could barely see it with the naked eye.
    Ms. Davis: Yes, it is a real snowflake! I've taken snowflake shots for the past three years or so and I always think they look like old fashioned crystal jewelry. :)

    Wow! I had no idea that it was possible to capture a snowflake in such great detail with our mostly pedestrian cameras. I'm going right now to see if you tell us what camera you use!

    Wow! I had to wonder, too, if it was a real snowflake. It looks like an ornament we would have out at the holidays. - And I am VERY accustomed to snow, as I've lived in it all my life 6 months out of the year.
    I've never seen one shaped like a "picture" snowflake before!
