caught

OMG! give the girl a pair of snow pants and the macro lens and look what happens... ok - i know it is distinctly average, but can i please consider this the obligatory snow flake and move on?

thanks everyone for the lovely views, comments and favs on my snow-blind shot from yesterday... i so did not expect such a fabulous response!

[Allison]

Even with a macro lens I can't capture a snowflake to save my life.....I always end up with a shot of a lump of snow, so a big fav to you for not only capturing a snowflake, but capturing it beautifully :-)

[Issi Bannerman]

[Lisa Pouncy]

DISTINCTLY AVERAGE?! Which planet exactly are you living on? This is so amazing. Fav xx

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Fav! I love how the flake is sticking off the fabric. The zig zag on left side doesn't look like pants!

[Arefin]

love this! perfect focus and composition! fav!

[☠northy]

@espyetta tx MaryBeth... actually, the background is a leaf (with a tear in it)... the snow pants was an allusion to me being able to crawl around in the snow ;p

[MaryBeth Dailey]

@northy That is what I was thinking! and now that you said so, yes! I totally see it. I wish I wish I WISH we would have some snow to crawl around in. Sigh. G reat pic.

[m9f9l]

Distinctly NOT average! fav! And some day I will get a flake shot..... but for now must live vicariously off your awesomeness.
