    December 24, 2019 /

    December Wisconsin Snowflakes

    December 16, 2019 /

    December Wisconsin Snowflakes, we finally got a decent snow fall during the day. So I was able to get some macro photos of those beautiful crystals. The weather went from rain, sleet then snow in a matter of minutes. I waited for a bit for the temps to get cooler so the snowflakes formed their shapes, other wise they’d look like a solid clump. You can see as the temperature began to drop the crystals began to form their individual shape. The colder it gets they would begin to fall from the sky individually. Love how the centers have the 3d affect from the December Wisconsin Snowflakes. What I Use…
