When Snowflakes Turn to Crystals

Like Diamonds

Tiny Diamonds

Sometimes the most ordinary bit of flora– brown, decayed– stands amidst the most amazing of surroundings. With the temperatures below 10˚, and the sun shining, the snow looked like a layering of bitty diamonds.

Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you.

  3. Bo, I tried to leave a comment earlier on this but got a WP glitch. I wanted to say that winter seems to have become a muse of yours. These simple shots of dormant plants and/or snow are some of your most beautiful.
