Pictures for Pam, Day 101: Snowflake on a Sporophyte

(+1 inset!) (please view large to see the snowflake better!) :D

There was a very light dusting of snow this morning which began to melt as I walked up and down the driveway. It was so nice to hear the birds doing their thing. I couldn't help hearing several Acorn Woodpeckers being loud and obnoxious but I love to hear them yelling at each other! They are so rude! :D We also have two kinds of noisy jays. Stellar's and Scrub Jays both vie for the title of "Most Obnoxious" along with the Acorn Woodpeckers. It's always fun to see them though, such pretty birds.

Today I've decided to share a couple of snowy sporophyte pictures to go with the light dusting of snow this morning. I took them a couple of weeks ago when I woke up to a world covered in white. I really hoped to get some unusual macro pictures and I sure got lucky with these images! At the time, I had no idea that I'd captured actual snowflakes until I looked at them on the computer. Two of the pictures needed to be tightly cropped so I made them into a collage. I hope you enjoy them--the buried sporophyte makes me laugh! (I provided two sizes so you can see the inset snowflakes better)

Pam, you made a beautiful snowflake artwork which I admire every time I look at it. It reminds me of kaleidoscopes, something I always enjoyed as a kid. Maybe that's one of the reasons that I love abstracts so much! I hope you are having a good day Pam!! *BIG HUGS*
