Since it is still cold and miserable with spring months away I decided to look at the pretty side of winter. This image is one taken (obviously with a flash) during a particularly heavy snow. I have seen the lovely spheres (simply out of focus snowflakes) described as "orbs" by those who prefer to believe in supernatural causes (see ghoststudy.com!), but I don't think I was being attacked by spirits when I took this photo. In some ways this is prettier than the photomicrographs of the snowflakes.
