it's snow wonder

The problem with me and snow is that I can stand and look at individual snowflakes as they land on my coat and gloves and ignore everything else around me for as long as it keeps coming down. Trying to capture them for longer examination is nearly impossible as they melt so quickly, and my camera doesn't have a great macro setting.

But Cassie's has a better macro setting! And today when we were on our way out to take pictures of yet another breathtaking sunset, I noticed that some of those gorgeous snowflakes were, in fact, visible on the deck railing. The fact that it was 17 degrees out kept them from melting, I guess. Here's what she captured (sorry, Cassie, but I stole your photo).
