A snowflake with a kickstand!
The top of this snowflake is tilted a little towards 'moi', and it looks as though a 'broken' arm of a snowflake is propping it up (the appendage dropping a hair right from vertical). Oh how ingenious these 'flakes can be!
Laowa 25mm with a 52.5mm extension tube.
Another snowflake. 11 stacked images, using PS for auto-align and auto-blend, with some manual blending 'corrections'. Laowa 25mm with a little over 50mm of extension tube. I could have used a couple more slices of the 'flake to avoid some of the soft spots!
Brothers from the same neighborhood. Two snowflakes that look like they have come to earth together through the same path of atmospheric stimulation!
Single image.
Snowflake tree. 'Bokeh-tized' snowflakes through the Lensbaby Edge80's tilt, using a snowflake cutout... Tower Hill night lights, Boylston, MA.
Stone bridge at night by the color of artificial light and 365nm (UV) visual fluorescence. Lightly flashlight light painted the foreground in UV (water fluoresces milky blue and the crusty damp organic matter on the rocks fluoresces red) to somewhat balance the heavy yellow artificial back area lights lighting the rest of the scene on this overcast night. Ambience was darker than this appears. Laowa 12mm.
A butterfly, not sure the type, The Butterfly Place, Westford, MA.
Nikon 135mm @ f/2, with a small extension tube.
I like the narrow DoF!
A snowflake. Often a rough up-bringing, or down-schlinging, can lead to an unbalanced asymmetrical character.

Dew drops on the lawn...
Lensbaby Spark (f/2 @ f/2, always), with an extension tube, for the macro aspect.
a snowflake.
A PS blend of thirty slices of focus, and some corrective editing of the imperfect auto-blending.
A baby bird on the front lawn, not sure of its make, but we have had plenty of (Carolina) wrens in the area, at this time.
A snowflake on ice, from a less than a sprinkling of the infrequent ocean effect snow. I have found that these types of snow sprinkles often give one a good batch of nice stereotypical snowflakes,
Monarch butterfly. Same b'fly as an earlier image, but the wings don't 'clip' the edge of this image...
Another wee jumping spider.
I can't pass on these spiders, if they're in the frame and I get'm, I show'm!
Laowa 25mm.
The large gangly cranefly... from a coarse blend of a few points of focus (the cranefly was on the screen to our back porch and in a tad bit awkward position to 'shoot'; had to rotate the porch to bring it to the horizontal perspective!).
A seemingly right-handed snowflake hurling a snowflake chip? Anyway, recent activity in the snowpile.
A snowflake... looks like the bottom leg has been pivoted about ninety degrees, oh the harshness of weather!
Okay, just a couple more pics of water drops on ornamental kale, from a rain the day before. Interesting with the teflon-like anti-adherence property of water on kale!
Snowflakes left at the top.
I went out at 10 p.m. of the latest storm to capture some of the last of the falling 'flakes. It had appeared I had missed that last of the flurry but was hoping for a wee one more 'heavy enough' sprinkle to coat my little outdoor shooting platform as I finished the shoveling. Unfortunately that coating did not come, so I looked to the flakes that adorned the top coating of the snow, and here is a piece of that search!
Laowa 25mm with a little over 50mm of extension tube.
A heavy-headed sunflower, Laowa 12mm. I did remove some distant power lines, but I left the pole in!
Should have taken a few images with the focus on the upper side, to blend in the image with more DoF, but I'd say it is obvious what it is (pssst, a snowflake). On to the next, but not too hastily this time!
Same snowflakes as the prior photostreamed picture but a very slightly different perspective, and I had intended to use this one for I prefer this... but my hasty mind and body connections went awry and the other was 'plopped' in! So you now have the rest of the story... and this image.
Snowflakes from the same development process, how they cling to stay together!
Thirteen points of focus blended together in PS. Lens used is a Laowa 25mm, with a 52.5mm extension tube.
