Don't They Melt?

It's not often that I post things of a pretty nature. But these were just too pretty to pass up. I guess they weren't lying when they said no snowflake is alike. Here's proof. Apparently a few people out there have the very intriguing hobby of photographing individual snowflakes. I wonder what they do for fun in the summer. Kenneth Librecht's site Snow Crystals has a a collection of incredibly stunning pictures of snowflakes that he took using "a special super-high-resolution photomicroscopy apparatus" that he make himself for this particular purpose. And apparently this is nothing new cause a Vermont farmer named Wilson Bentley was doing this in the 1930s. Geez, where have I been?


Everyone is special...

...just like a snowflake...

...only not as pretty.
