After I brought Ella to school one cold, cold day last week (I'm talking -10 degrees), I noticed these frosty snowflakes on top of my garbage bin outside the garage. What would you do? I ran inside, attached my macro lens to the camera, grabbed my tripod and ran back out. I knew once the sun came up and it was time to go get Ella from school, that these little treasures would be gone. What a weird neighbor I must have looked like standing there with my camera and tripod....shooting my garbage bin! You just know that these spiky little snowflakes were not on any one's mind if they saw me. You know they were thinking.....
There's that crazy lady who, while taking pictures of her daughter all the time, is rolling around in the dirt, laying in the middle of the road, hanging upside down from a tree and doing back flips. Now she's staring at her garbage bin?! What's next?
It's thier loss. They didnt get to enjoy the beauty of these fantastic little creations of nature up close like I did.

I am not sure I have ever seen a real snow flake. Should have since I live in the Rocky Mountains.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous.
holy crap! that is the coolest photo I have seen in a very.long.time.
ReplyDeleteawesome capture, joanna!
Holy flippin'!! That is truly amazing. You won't believe it but I have black construction paper still out for the occasion that we could possibly maybe have snow for me to get a photo just in that way. I'm the crazy lady thinking that we'd get some. You are the awesome lady. Love it.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I hope you're kidding about the back flips, cuz there's no way in heck I could do one and it would make me feel inferior if you can and do!
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty darn crazy alright. Crazy beautiful. Crazy amazing. Wow, Jo, just WOW. I could stare at that all day.
ReplyDeleteI love that picture!! Who cares if they think you're crazy! They haven't had the pleasure of seeing those snowflakes up close!!! =)
