SNOWFLAKES
"Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty; and it seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others. Every crystal was a masterpiece of design and no one design was ever repeated., When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost. Just that much beauty was gone, without leaving any record behind."
Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley 1925
I am sure you have heard the phrase 'no two snowflakes are alike' but did you know that Wilson Bentley made this discovery in the small rural town of Jericho, Vermont in 1885 when he became the first person to photograph a snow crystal (aka snowflake). Over his lifetime he photographed over 5000 of them earning the nickname "Snowflake Bentley."
For more information on Wilson Bentley, visit the official "Snowflake Bentley" website at http://snowflakebentley.com/.
In the spirit of celebrating, I'm hosting a contest of my own.

When and if we get snow, I love watching how my horses react to it. They love playing in it once the scary part of it falling is over. Love meeting new authors!

Love that! I've always wanted a horse. Someday, when I can dedicate the time needed to truly care for one as wonderfully as they should be! Thank you for sharing!
DeleteMy favorite thing to do in the snow is taking a sleigh ride with my husband and making snow angels

ReplyDeleteAhh! I can't imagine! *laughs* I love ALL the seasons but I am a Winter girl! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love snow ball fights with my family.
ReplyDeletejanna@jannashay.com
Ha! Sounds like fun! When we were younger we would make monster size snow forts with tunnels and such. Then ... oh, the fantastic snowball fights we'd have! Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteWhat a lovely story Layla! I'm surprised that it wasn't discovered until 1885! M.S.
ReplyDeleteMe too! He adapted a mircoscope to a Bellows camera. Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteLove taking walks with my dog, he loves to play in the snow, he has so much fun burrowing in and trying to eat all the snow. Interesting post about the snowflakes.

DeleteLayla, I stopped by to say thanks for hopping!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love taking my great dane walking in the snow. He is just fascinated with it when it's falling and loves to run and play in it. I can barely keep up with him! LOL! Thanks for being part of the hop!

Our dog acts like a puppy in the snow! She's so frisky and bounces about. Thank you for stopping by!
Deletei love sledding
ReplyDeletemeandi09@yahoo.com
I haven't been sledding since I've been a kid. Hmmm ... maybe it's time to go again! Thanks for visiting
DeleteSince I live in the deep South...when and if I do see snow, it's usually just a dusting. I'd love to live where there was enough to sled in. Even at my age, *48 tomorrow* I'd love to try sledding.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a part of this hop. I'm loving finding new to me authors!

Happy Birthday Tammy!!! Hope you're having a great day today. With the crazy weather we're having you JUST might find yourself with a wee bit of snow and if you do, I hope you get to go sledding! Enjoy and thank you for stopping by!
DeleteIn PA our snowfall varies, I love a snow day with my kids. I dream of a big enough snow we can build our own igloo/fort, somehow warm the inside some and hang out there.... (Inspired by the movie Snow Day, a must watch on at least one snow day....). missmichelle345@gmail.com
ReplyDelete*laughs* Oh that sounds like so much fun! We used to do that when we were younger but as big as we made them they were never big enough! Thank you for sharing and coming by!
DeleteI love snow when I don't have to drive or get around in it. I like the way the town looks when everything is covered in snow. It's awesome to just watch, just like a picture greeting card. My activity to do during the snow....nothing. I'm somewhat disable and can't do some of the things I use to do like, snowball fights and building snowmen. They were fun! However, it's still all good. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

Stopping by to check out your blog :) Love your post and saying hi <3
ReplyDeleteThere are many things I like to do in the snow but they are mostly not with the snow. When I was younger playing tag in a snow maze was great fun (especially when it was well over your head). Now that I am older I enjoy being in a hot tub with the cold all around; sitting next to a fire reading or chatting while it is snowing or better yet when there is a good blizzard blowing, or watching skiers coming down the hills or skating. I'm not much of one for being cold myself as you can probably tell.
