Snowflakes

It snowed at Grandma and Pawpaw's house. Jasper hadn't seen snow like this in quite a while- really dry snow with big, fluffy snowflakes.  This was a perfect chance to look at snowflakes up close.  All it takes is a black cloth, and Grandma had some to lend to us.  (Black velvet is ideal- the next time I'm at a craft store, I think I'd better get some.) Despite the biting wind, Jasper was really excited to play in the snow, and thought looking at snowflakes up close was really amazing.  

Jasper first got intrigued with snowflakes after reading about the life of W. A. Bentley, the first person to photograph them.  For some state of the art snowflake photos, along with the  science on snowflake formation, look here and here.
