This Red-winged Blackbird was speckled by snowflakes.
On April 15, snowflakes (called Christmas flakes because they were large and invoked a bit of cheer) nearly obscured the neighbours’ large pine tree.
I have never seen such an exquisite snowflake as this one, on Achilles’ ear. Unfortunately for you, my reader, he moved a fraction of a second before the shutter tripped.
. . . no, actually not. I pointed my camera up and captured these falling snowflakes illuminated by parking lot lighting.
Back on Thursday.
Less than a minute after landing on the deck, this snowflake had vanished. A favourite line from Kansas’ song Dust In the Wind captures the essence of this: Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
