A Decade of Waiting For This by grammyn

A Decade of Waiting For This

A bucket list shot for me. I took up photography twenty years after we moved to Alabama. It almost never snows here. I have tried a couple of times in the last decade to get a decent snowflake shot and always failed miserably. I was delighted to see it snowing this morning when I went out to feed the birds. My daughter sent me a couple of photos she took and encouraged me to try. I did and am over the moon to have succeeded in getting some decent shotsfor the first time ever!
congrats those are awesome

Fav!

Awesome! You have captured the beauty and intricacy so well. Fav. We only had little teeny flakes here, but boy, did we have the freezing rain!
February 17th, 2021  
This is terrific. In Texs, we don't get much opportunity for this. I just now got to try the frozen bubble. But I really want to photograph a snowflake.
February 18th, 2021  
Awesome! This is on my bucket list too- if not this winter, next! I've got all the pieces I just need to figure out how to put them together.
February 18th, 2021  
Well done. I've not been able to do this. Maybe the next time it snows here I can. The last several times it's been during the night.
February 18th, 2021  
Well done!

@moviegal1 thank you so much Kerri. I am glad you think so
@dutchothotmailcom I was very excited to have the opportunity. Thanks Esther
@summerfield i’m so glad you noticed that tiny little flower shaped one too! Thanks for the heads up about the theme also.
@amyk that’s really very kind of you Amy. I have tried before but I have never found flakes with this much clarity before.
@taffy absolutely worth the wait and yes it has been a struggle so I am pleased with what I came up with this time. Thank you Taffy.
@monikozi that’s support means the world to me! Thanks bunches
@ludwigsdiana thanks so much Diana I really appreciate it!
@madamelucy yes she is Terri and thank you especially for that FAV.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond thank you so much! I was truly excited too! You might have a good idea there.
@jacqbb thank you so much! I appreciate it.
@pattyblue i’m so glad that you like it and really appreciate that! Thanks so much!
@ziggy77 I really appreciate the view and the comment thank you so much.
@gijsje thanks bunches bep.
@eudora I was lucky that the flakes were able to be seen so well actually! Grateful we got snow instead of your ice too.
@lynne5477 we don’t get much opportunity either which is why I was so incredibly excited! I have tried the frozen bubble before and failed miserably at that as well. Our weather was cold enough that I could have tried it but I forgot all about it this time I was so excited about the snowflakes! Thank you so much Lynne.
@olivetreeann Well I feel reasonably confident that you will have many more opportunities than I will to ever get a shot like this. Also knowing how skilled you are there’s not a doubt in my mind you will get some beautiful shots! Thanks,Ann.
@randystreat thank you so much Kathy. For some reason everything just aligned right for me this time!
@pej2 how nice of you to say, Paul! I really appreciate it thanks.
@brigette how nice of you to say Brigette. I think I really appreciate you taking the time to make a comment and give it a FAV
