TITLE: Frosted Snowflakes

Captured on January 11, 2020, between 9:14 a.m. - 9:37 a.m. (MST) in Larkspur, CO (USA). The beautiful flurries of snow began just after midnight on January 11. However, I was tired and went to bed instead of taking the night photos. I assumed I would wake in the morning to either some snowflakes left for picturing or none due to melt. When I went outside around 9:00 a.m., my car still had a few snowflakes on it. However, the snowflakes that had fallen were now encompassed by the frost that had grown throughout the night. The mix of both created a very artistic sketch of frosted snowflakes. The snowflakes and frost reflected the morning rays of light as the sun came pouring down on them while holding their formation for the moments of capture. The designs, shapes, and reflections in the frosted snowflakes are absolutely marvelous.

I have enjoyed taking pictures all my life. In March 2018, I captured a real-life snowflake resembling a flower. I fell in love with it and began pursuing macro photography. My photographs became the illustrations in my book series, Washed as White as Snow. The snowflake designs tell different aspects of the story of Jesus Christ's good news for the world. I believe God creates and uses the snowflakes to magnify how all creation glorifies Him by telling the story of His redeeming love for mankind. I enjoy taking nature photos and sharing God's beauty in plants, animals, and landscapes.
