One of my photographic goals has been to take pictures of individual snowflakes. This has been a particularly difficult goal to achieve due to a number of reasons. First, the temperature and weather conditions need to be JUST right to create visible snowflakes, worthy of photographing (this is not often). Second, it doesn't snow every day (even if it has snowed often). And third, most of the times it has snowed, it was during a time that I could not get out with my camera. Either it was night time, during school hours, when I had an appointment, or when I was sick (and I was sick for six weeks straight this year, so this was often). I figured I would just have to wait until next year to get the shots I so desired. But winter wasn't done with us yet, even if it was the first day of spring! (After all, I was born in a blizzard at the end of March!) A friend of mine out in West Jersey posted a picture on Facebook of an individual snowflake which got me ALL EXCITED!!! I saw her picture during the school day and could not WAIT to get home to my camera and these snowflakes that seemed to be so well-formed! I just had to hope the temperature and conditions were the same by me, after school. I finally got home, and was THRILLED to see they were! My sister and I had a great time looking at and photographing these snowflakes! I'm sure we looked ridiculous sitting in the snow on our front lawn with blankets and towels. I was using a macro lens. The lens has a VERY narrow depth of field. So, if the flakes weren't completely flat and parallel with my lens, only part of the flake would be in focus. This was frustrating. And despite using a macro lens, it was still very difficult to get the flakes in focus. These that I am posting were the best of the crop. More pictures to come! I'll post a few each day. I'm not thrilled with the red background, but maybe someday I can figure out how to change the color in Lightroom.

I had been out early to meet a few friends but ended up finding my way around the Missabe sub on my own before work. I had made the mistake of letting my Trainmon 5 run overnight - now it was all out of sync; on a different planet than what was reality on the CN, and I had missed a train because of it. I was about to do a U turn at Munger when I noticed another railfan parked there, standing trackside with a camera slung over their shoulder, so I pulled up behind and asked what they were waiting for.

Okay then. So, I myself get up and stand there with them. About three minutes later, a horn is heard in the distance, and in the frost, pellets steaming, an IC Deathstar leads two orange BLE motors southbound towards Proctor.

“O silêncio não é a simples ausência de ruídos ou

a interrupção da comunicação com o mundo exterior,

mas o processo de atingir um estado de tranqüilidade.

A solitude silenciosa faz nascer o verdadeiro discurso.

Não falo de isolamento físico; solitude aqui significa

está sozinho com o Só, experimentando o Outro

transcendente e crescendo na percepção da própria

identidade como alguém amado”.

This is a portion of a jigsaw puzzle titled "Ocean Life" by Tim Jeffs. An octopus tentacle forms a golden ratio.

First attempts. Should use same liquids (with different collrs) next time. Different liquids have different viscosity so behave different.
