Snow and Science

It's snowing here today.

It just started a few minutes ago.

And since it's been so cold, the snowflakes are landing and staying in their shapes on the frigid surfaces.

I called the kids outside to look at them on the plastic picnic table.

Thousands of individual shapes all laying there. No two alike.

It's truly an awesome sight, especially when you consider Who created them and the fact that He didn't need to make them each different.

I tried to photograph them, but they're almost magical, too small and delicate to capture on my little digital camera. They looked like little white dots.

But to see them in person, you see the different sides, the patterns and points, the beauty in each one.

A truly awesome science lesson from above.
