Silent Flake

entry description
In the quiet, peacefulness of a night snowstorm, this silent snowflake fell. It was the night of April 10, 2019 when I captured this fantastic flake. Sitting quietly on my deck, with my blue light, waiting for the perfect flake, this one gently fell to the edge of the wooden floor plank. It captures not only its own detailed design but also that of two other flakes that fell on it during the photography process. A truly dynamic vision of a snowflake caught in the night. By morning it will be nothing but a piece of melted ice, if that.about the photographer
I have enjoyed taking pictures all my life. In 2018, I captured a snowflake that looked like a flower. The snowflakes inspired me to pursue macro photography. I have spent a lot of time, night and day, capturing the beauty and tiny details of the smallest flakes that land within my yard, trees, deck, and space around. My desire is to share the beauty of this piece of nature with the world. My photographs have become illustrations in my new book series, Washed as White as Snow, released in 2019. I still enjoy all photography because I can remember passing moments for years to come.back to gallery
