I recall reading a quote some years ago that really made an impression on me. It went on about how a snowflake is the most fragile thing in nature, but what a wonder it is when so many of them stick together.
Such a simple but powerful truth.
Something so perishable making a lasting impression when in good company!

It makes you stand back and think of all the tiny, seemingly insignificant elements coming together to compose other objects that are altogether larger in size, scope, and significance.
Something along the lines of "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts."
So, we've had our trillion fragile snowflakes stick together on Mt. Aenos over the last few days. The result was breathtaking—in more ways than one! 🌨 🥶 🌨 🥶

❄And a note from the ambivalent blogger, willing to give winter a chance
I don't believe in plastering my photo on my posts, but allow me to make an exception—if only to prove my case to non-believers. Given my well-known aversion to freezing temperatures—and winter in general—I've already had questions about who I "borrowed" the photos from! Yes, I actually went to face my nemesis. And between us, I'll admit that I enjoyed it as much as everyone else. However, my long term relationship with winter has not been affected despite this small truce. I did not come away with a boost in affection for the wicked season. Let there be no misunderstandings! |
