Last Flake

It is beginning to look as if the prime season is almost over here and almost time to put away the snowflake gear for the next season. I hope you enjoyed what I shared with you as this has been a very productive season compared to the last 4 years. Thank you very much for your comments and to close I am presenting one of my top five captures for this season. As usual good hunting and shooting. Larry

Great season finale, Larry! Your photos are always awe-inspiring not only for the skill needed to get these pictures but also for showing the miniature beauty that exists in nature that most of the time we are unaware of. Thanks for showing us this beauty and brightening our winter!

I absolutely love this series you've produced. And it seems as though the background/lighting has evolved during the series. They just keep getting better.

This is fabulous! The brown background and the golden light work so well together and add so much to that amazingly detailed snow flake pair.

Without reading your commentary, I thought this is one of your best snowflakes post this year.

Enjoyed looking at all of them.
