snowflake therapy

I needed some therapy and photography always works and today we had good snowflakes (it is amazing how seldom the weather comes together with everything you need for good snowflake shots).

I got about fifteen minutes before WOW and about the time I got home the snow fizzled out.

The other remarkable thing about taking photos of snowflakes (unless you go for those extremely technical shots which don't thrill me) is that I get good ones at all - a macro set at 2.8 just because I like shallow DOF means a breeze - snowflakes hitting the grass where I am trying to shoot one flake, my own breathing can throw the whole shot out of focus).
