I LIKE IT

Since the weather people predicted an inch of snow starting early this morning and we got six inches between midnight and noon, I figured I'd post some snowflake photos.  I think they're all pretty.

They kind of look like plants in this shot.

    Thank you Nebby! Don't know how you collect all these neat shots but keep it up. Tonight I've been rolling back & forth to the front door, hoping to see snow here in Missouri. The photos will have to do & they are absolutely fantabulous! Thanks for sharing.
