Snow. It still brings a thrill as it courses down from the heavens, cloaking the ground, the trees, the buildings, and everything with a soft mantle of white.

This morning, CBS Sunday Morning featured wonderful photos of snowflakes taken by Cal Tech physicist Kenneth Libbrecht. (See more pics at SnowCrystals.com, which kindly permits bloggers the use of images such as the one at left.)

Individually, they are a wonder. As a group, they can be spectacular.

Right now, they are collecting outside. By morning, everything will look different. The colors will be gone. Just white.

A delight.
