Get Out Your Magnifying Glass


My daughter and I found this very beautiful and amazing book at Barnes and Noble last weekend; it was bargain priced under $7.00! It has photos of REAL snowflakes, and talks about the history of photographing and studying snowflakes. That is all I have read so far, but the pictures are amazing! Some are what you would think of when you see a snowflake- and the detail is astounding the way they form, let me tell ya, and others are much different than one would expect, but make sense if you have lived where it snows. I can't wait to finish it. I thought it would might be too technical, but have found it very nice to read.
I really hope if you are in Barnes and Noble you will check it out! Now if you will excuse me, I have to go get the snow off of my van so I can go to the store for some ice melt and warm socks! :)
