Snowflakes that stay on my ... Windshield

Today I decided to take my camera with me to work so I could see if I happened to find some snowplows to take photos of - a little odd I realize, but I wanted to send some photos to our friends in France.  He works for the regional department responsible for winter road maintenance in Normandy and I thought he might be interested in seeing some of our bad boys in action.  I see them every winter and I'm still impressed by a convoy of three super-sized snowplows going down the highway plowing it clean.  Anyway .... I got in the car and was floored by how gorgeous the snow was on the windshield.  I just started clicking away and had some fun before I even left the driveway.   



If you recall in this post my new photo challenge was taking pictures of snowflakes, so I consider myself fortunate to find such beauties on my windshield today.




So it was snowflakes not snowplows, but I'm not complaining.

  15. Hello Grace, I found your blog via Sarah's link party. I absolutely love your shots of the snowflakes and all your snowy photos. I have been fascinated living here in the U.K. with the snow...I'm like a big kid running around with the camera and a big dopey grin on my face! Did I tell you I'm totally impressed with those snowflakes!!! Robx
