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 March 2018, I captured a real-life snowflake resembling a flower. I fell in love with it and began pursuing macro photography. My photographs became the illustrations in my book series, Washed as White as Snow. The snowflake designs tell different aspects of the story of Jesus Christ's good news for the world. I believe God creates and uses the snowflakes to magnify how all creation glorifies Him by telling the story of His redeeming love for mankind. I enjoy taking nature photos and sharing God's beauty in plants, animals, and landscapes.back to gallery
