With little to photograph while I stay within my neighbourhood limits, I have turned to closely examining ice and snow. This post will show some snowflakes and frost and a future post will show ice patterns.
The best place to find snowflakes with a dark background (for contrast) is on pavement. I find that usually the flakes melt quickly but if there is "black" ice, the temperature is lower than the asphalt and that helps to keep the flakes intact long enough for a photograph. Sadly, many of the flakes break apart either on the way down or when they hit the ground. I managed to see a couple of these flakes shown below as they fell and landed near me. I find that more interesting than just coming upon them already on the ground. Some how I feel a connection to these tiny snowflakes.
These are pictures of frost that appeared one morning on my living room window.
