Ice Crystals

Tiny, intricate details usually escape our sight when it comes to snowflakes.
I was able to capture a bit of it in the images below.  I was amazed at the
feather-like, fern-like quality these ice crystals took on, and I loved the way
some of them picked up/refracted light, giving some color, sparkle, shine,
and even flecking some with gold!  I hope you enjoy these photographs.
