Snowflakes Up Close

Now that it's snowing again, I thought you might enjoy seeing these macrophotographs of snowflakes by Alexey Kljatov of Moscow, Russia.Of course snowflakes are water crystals, and because of the configuration of the water molecule, the crystals are hexagonal in shape. All photos by Alexey Kljatov.

These are truly beautiful.  Nature is the best artist.
