Beautiful Danish Snowflakes

While walking home from the train station in the snow earlier this week, I realized something-- Danish snowflakes must be prettier than American ones. Okay, so maybe that's not entirely true... maybe it's just that I walk around in the snow a lot more here than I do in the US... but regardless, I have seen some of the most beautiful snowflakes lately. When they land on my black peacoat, they look so surreal in their perfection. Each flawlessly formed flake reminds me of how amazing and beautiful nature is!!!

I wasn't sure if I could capture nature's perfection in the snowflakes I've seen, so I have borrowed a selection of snowflakes from Wilson Bentley, one of the first photographers to capture the image of a snowflake. Enjoy!
