why I love winter in Minnesota





A few favorites from extraordinary frost we've had this winter. I'm loving snow more and more every year, and have been especially giddy on the mornings of thick frost.

The photograph on the top (the one with the single snowflake) was taken while out on a hike by my parents house during Christmas vacation. There was a build-up of at least 3 days worth of frost... and then it started snowing. Huge clumps of snow landed in slow motion on every branch, every weed, every oak leaf. This snowflake was the biggest I'd ever seen. When you look at it, what do you think of?

I am reminded that we are but one snowflake. That snowflake, however is intricate and amazing. Just like our creator. GREAT photo! Keep it up!
