Snow Crystals

We're getting more snow this morning ... the kind with big puffy flakes that float rather than fall. I haven't used the macro setting on the camera in a while so today's the day ... a macro of some snow crystals. It's pretty cool magnified if you have a second.

Hexagons gone wild. http://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/ explains it all.

Many thanks for dropping by.
