That is a perfect snowflake!

My goodness- that is so cool

oh my that is so cool. howdid he happen to take it? must have had the camera handy. sometimes you can get some really good candid shots, such as my avatar. was so close to her. could have reached out to touch, but did not want to lose any fingers.

He's just moved to Colorado and he's a nut for snow. So he was out taking pics and saw the snowflake on his sleeve!!!

Tell him to lie out some black felt and he'll find even more. When it's really cold and snowing, the snowflakes are spectacular.
Here's another cool thing for him to try if he likes being outside! Frozen bubbles. Blow bubbles at night and shine your flashlight up into them. They refract the light, freeze, and land like little balls all over the snow.

wow,, awesome!

Ok, what are you looking at, I see no pic!!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll tell him! It sounds so cool! Thanks for the ideas!

I don't know what to tell you...others can see it! You might contact admin/moderators and see what's up

An hour later: Must be my server, I can see it now and yes, it is the perfect snowflake!!

I will have to try the bubble thing with the grands when we are with them at Christmas at the ski hill.

in my 60 yrs on this earth I have never seen one . . .awesome. and great job getting the pic!

Wow! Beautiful!

Great shot!

That is awesome but he can keep them out there. I am not looking forward to winter.

Amazing picture. Your son has a great camera! If you would like to see some additional pictures of the beautiful crystals look up Snowflake Bentley online, or take a look at the pictures at this site. http://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/s...tos/photos.htm

It is amazing :) :) :)

wow! Isn't that neat!

Very cool!!

wow!!! That is really cool!

that is cool, never seen a snow flake that you could really see, have to tell my Grand daughter to look for some. she lives in Co. joyce j

Okay this has me hoping for snow, so I can try and take some photos! And thanks for the tip about the bubbles - going to try that too, once we get below freezing!

now that is cool

Oh how neat! I have fogotten we used to do this when we lived in CO. I guess we have doe it here, but does not snow the same as in CO.
