First snow in England and some beautiful macroshoots of snowflakes

Hello lovelies!

Yesterday we had our first snow down here in South East of England and I managed to try my new lens and took some makro shoots of snowflakes. I really like them so I wanted to share them with you. I know it has nothing to do with nail polishes but it's about beauty of something ;)

    Wow, amazing, I thought you had to put them under a microscope to see them, could you see this with the naked eye? Brilliant photos.

      Thank you, they are really small but the lens has a great zoom so I can take really close up pics x

      Thank you Nihrida, I was stunned by them too, that's why I kept taking pics for hours in the cold, I just couldn't stop searching for more beautiful snowflakes! x

      No ja si vzdycky vzpomenu na pisnicku Ladovska Zima od Nohavici, kdyz napadne snih. Tady je to pohroma, porad jsou tu pozustatky a ne a ne to roztat. Ale ty vlocky jsou fakt krasne, snad si to pristi rok zase zopakuju :)

    Right now it's snowing (again) and I hope it will stop soon because we have a lot of troubles with snow in my country but seeing beautiful structure of delicate snowflakes makes me like them again :)
