Snowy Sunday

I had a rare opportunity to get a good look at some snowflakes this morning.

A light snowfall overnight left just a dusting of snow on the railings of the back stairs, and I couldn't help but notice I could see individual snowflakes preserved in the chill.

In the time it took me to grab a warm coat and get my camera, they were already beginning to melt.

But I did manage to capture a few flakes for posterity.

Yes, they really do have six points.

I can only imagine what the neighbors might have thought to see me out there in the cold, wearing my winter  coat over my pajamas, taking detailed photos of a railing...
