who needs diamonds?


When I took the dogs out late last night, the ice storm had ended and there were strong winds blowing a skiff of snow over the ice crystals. The back yard glittered in the yard lamps. It was so pretty that I ran back into the house and grabbed the camera.

You really need to click and embiggen these pics to properly see how lovely these little crystals are.

Yes they really do look like tiny crystals. Mother Nature is amazing. I bet they are alot easier to shovel then the wet snow!

Beautiful crystaline snow and some really good photography to capture it. Still waiting to get the purple colors you posted before. We had a pink morning the other day and I thought of your photo. Thanks for sharing.
