OK, these may be the last snowflakes of the year.

Today, we had our first significant snow since December, so I was shooting away. The first image is of a flake taken at 40x, while the second image is of a single arm on a flake taken at 100x.

It was quite a bit warmer today (25F) than when I've been shooting in the past, so there were some issues with which I was used to dealing - namely, sublimating/melting flakes and condensation on my slides...

Enjoy,

Tim!

Tim these are great! I love the closeup. It must be difficult to get a good image before it melts. Very cool! (no pun intended)

Have enjoyed the images and look forward to next years season hope you get as much snow as you need but not too much. I think the detail is amazing, maybe you will find the matching pair.

Your getting better. I hope it is not the end of the snow there is a lot more skiing to be done.

The details in these images are always fascinating. Thanks for sharing them.

I dunno Tim, it sounds like more snow is headed our way from the Rockies tomorrow (not sure about Wisconsin though). I especially enjoy the second detail shot here. Very unique and surreal.
