Shooting Star - Snowflakes 9 - Golden flake

It seems that this year, winter wants to stay. I thought that I took my last snowflake shot at the beginning of march, but apparently I was wrong : I took these on my way to work by the end of April ...

 

I am particularly happy with this configuration : these flakes following each other from the bigger to the tiniest and forming something looking like a shooting star. Of course, I was just lucky : as far as I know, there's no simple way to move the flakes in order to create such staging without melting them ...

 

The last one is particularly astonishing : with my bare eye, I thought it was a piece of dust or sand : but it was a real golden snowflake (at least it looks like !) There was no color manipulation in processing : this little last star has really this color ...

 

I have never heard of different colors in snowflakes, maybe someone knows a little more ? ...

 

Again, I used Kenko extension tube + EF-S 60mm Macro f/2.8.
