I have lived in snowy places...
I lived in Vermont for 4 1/2 years and then in Minnesota and then in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I've seen a lot of snow! When we moved to Oregon, I was happy to leave the snow shovels behind because you can't shovel rain. Sure...we've had a dusting every now and then the past 9 years but nothing crazy. What's crazy is the ice storms we get.
Then last fall we moved to Hood River...just an hour east of Portland in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge where winter snowstorms are more common. But this storm isn't common...it's crazy! We have a couple feet of snow and it just keeps snowing.
It has given me the opportunity to practice getting some macro shots of snowflakes....
This first one is my favorite....the temperatures were just cold enough for it to be perfectly formed.
Impressive macros, it's been too cold for me to get out of the car unless it's going into and out of a store. Yeah the ice storms were crazy and now on to lots and lots of snow. Sounds like you're getting weather similar to the kind we're having in WI.
ReplyDeleteI love your macro shots. To show my ignorance: I thought Oregon only got rain in the winter, other than high up in the mountains. Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteYour macros are fantastic!

ReplyDeleteIt has been a very long time since I have seen such perfectly formed flakes - here in the 'Bonny Land' it far too moist for the flakes to hold. Coming to you from 'another corner of the world'! YAM xx
Gorgeous!! That's what it feels like most winters here!
ReplyDeleteWhat a crazy winter! Have a great week. Stay safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteWow! Just wow!! These are fabulous images!! Thanks for linking to My Corner of the World!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful snowflake images! I have never tried that before, and now you have inspired me! I came by from Peabea.
