During our big snow storm on Sunday, I took a hike. Well, OK, it was more like a walk. A walk around my backyard, if you are going to press me on it, which I guess barely counts as a walk. It must have been more of a stroll. Anyway, I saw this dried leaf cupping snowflakes and the tiny ice-balls that fell for a while before the snow started.

For similar – only better – images, check out these shots from a fellow photo-blogger, Sarah Takes Pictures. Tell her I sent you!
