Upper Mosquito Lake, John Krebs Wilderness

While we were enjoying our breakfast in the balmy 17 degree (f) weather on October 4th, we were treated to a little wonder of nature, it started to snow and as the snow gently blew across the length of the lake, it was lit from the side by the sun and that made each snowflake a tiny prism. The combination of the mist rising from the lake and the glitter in the air was simply breathtaking.

What a cool moment of weather and light! I bet those snow flakes sparkle in the full rez version.

Looks almost like a magic moment in a movie scene.

Michael,

Magic moment, captured. I'm kinda with Floris here I'll bet it's even more magical in a larger version.

Nicely captured... I would have thought it was morning mist above the water, if you hadn't said what was happening.

Eric, there is some morning mist in the mix as well.
