Snowflakes

A snowflake is either a single ice crystal or an aggregation of ice crystals which falls through the Earth's atmosphere. They begin as snow crystals which develop when microscopic supercooled cloud droplets freeze. Snowflakes come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Complex shapes emerge as the flake moves through differing temperature and humidity regimes, such that individual snowflakes are nearly unique in structure. Snowflakes encapsulated in rime form balls known as graupel. Snowflakes appear white in color despite being made of clear ice. This is due to diffuse reflection of the whole spectrum of light by the small crystal facets.

Wallpaper Description:

This is sort of a "bonus" wallpaper that I had NOT planned on uploading. Why? Because I wasn't expecting Michigan's first snowfall to be this soon!

Two days ago on Friday, November 9th, we got our first snow. I had mixed feelings about it; I love the beautiful Autumn colors and I'm not ready for Winter yet. This snow showed up two weeks earlier than normal! I have to admit that taking pictures of it was fun though.

PS. You can tell that the flowers weren't ready for this either...you can see them hanging under the lantern looking rather forlorn.

UPDATE: It's November 30th, and I just uploaded one more wallpaper with golden leaves under white snow. Here's the link to it:
