Wordless Wednesday - Snowflake nation


Prettily frozen
London, ON, March 2009 [Click to create a blizzard]

When you wake up in the morning to find the wondervan festooned with the entrails of winter, you can either grumble about the deicing job you're about to be forced into or you can reach for your camera and take a moment to remember something that exists for barely a blink.

In the end, life's not about what happens to you. It's about what you're willing to do about it.

Your turn: The power of attitude. Please discuss.

Oops, almost forgot: This photo begins the wind-down of our "transparent" theme. It's not too late to share yours. Just click here and have at it. Next week's Thematic Photographic theme will be...
Kitchen

The first entry will go live on this site tomorrow (Wednesday) at 7:00 p.m. EDT. I look forward to seeing what you come up with, as kitchens are such vibrant playgrounds for anyone with a camera and an idea. Even if it's half-baked (sorry, couldn't resist!)

    Very cool - wish I had a macro lens. But you already know that.

    You have any old cameras you're looking to get rid of?!

    Just checking.

    My WW is up.

    When you have a garage, you miss out on this simple beauty. Can you tell my attitude is usually "Lemons? wahoo--LEMONADE!!"?? :)

    It's not just your ability to capture the moment in a photo, Carmi; I have always been drawn to your ability to communicate your thought attached to that moment.

    Oooo...and I DO have one little entry for "transparent". And, I'm smiling right now because it's lemonade! ha! I wasn't even thinking about it when I said the above :).

    I miss the beautiful patterns that frost makes. It's one of the things that I still love about the cold weather.

    Absolutely beautiful, a true example of nature's painting. While I don't miss the cold and the snow, I will admit to missing beautiful frosted windows.

    And kitchens, now there's a theme I can get behind, starting right from my blog header :-).

    Great photo and I so needed your wise words "In the end, life's not about what happens to you. It's about what you're willing to do about it" today. Thanks.

    Looking forward to the kitchen theme since it is what I do (I'm in kitchen & bath design-sales).

    This is not a picture of snowflakes. This is a Petrie dish.
    A Laura Petrie dish. Ohh Rob !
