This little berry wasn't as happy as the one yesterday being covered in snow and looks a little sad. It lacks the colour of yesterdays but it's (I think) beautiful non the less.
To give you some idea of the size of the snowflake, the berry measures 5mm.
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome :)
I really appreciate all your comments, thank you so much. I'm only sorry I've not got time to respond. I do read all the comments and will try to answer any questions you have about my posts :)
Beautiful photo Mary! Love the detail on the ice.

Lovely closeup Mary! I only wish the ice crystals were a bit sharper.

@Stunner: Thank you Stunner :) I wish it was too, they melted very quickly once they landed, to give you an idea how small the ice crystals were the berry mesures 5mm in lenghth.
Indeed, less color but still very nice shot, great work !

@Candace: Thank you Candace :) would you believe I actually went out and measured the berries LOL :D my family think I'm mad :D they may actually be right! lol It was the first time since I was a child that I'd actually saw a real snowflake! so I was like a kid in a candy shop. Hope you manage to get some photo's too :)

Lovely - the ice stands out more than the berry this time...I think I prefer the first however...no real reason, just personal preference...

@Me 2: Thank you Rob! all it took was a steady hand alot of patience and a little bit of madness, to stand out in the freezing cold to get this one LOL :D I have a better camera this year so who know's if we get more snowflakes, then I'll be out there again!
Fantastic shot!!!Superb macro!Very well done!

Beautiful indeed but it's like with cheese after dinner, maybe you could have better posted this one first and then the other one for my eyes were still used to the glowing red when I saw this. Which is also very worthwhile, but more solemn and sober.
