Those are the actual snowflakes in the image, taken with an Ewa raincoat on the camera.

Comments by Ruth Rittichier on Wed, 03/19/08 09:52 More rust for the Tin Man. Taken same day. Comments by Ruth Rittichier on Wed, 03/19/08 09:53 My final snow photo for this year, even if it's true we're getting more snow this week. Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Wed, 03/19/08 10:00 A little late in the season... or perhaps early for the next season... but the opening picture would makes a wonderful Christmas card motif (with the visible snowflakes and the ducks in the pond). I like your capture of the Tin Man wearing the snow like a jacket. All the pictures work particularly well with a black background. Comments by Christopher Azzopardi on Wed, 03/19/08 10:23 I really like the first shot. It is very artistic. Well done! Comments by Linda Frey on Wed, 03/19/08 11:10 The OP is lovely. Did you convert it to B&W, or was it naturally monochrome? I think I see a bit of colour along the edges, or am I just imagining that? Poor old tin man. He'll be poor old rusty tin man. Comments by Jeff Dye on Wed, 03/19/08 12:18 The OP is outstanding Ruth. Would be on the wall if mine. Comments by david leahy on Wed, 03/19/08 12:36 Fine shot! made me google 'Ewa'. Comments by Michael Meek on Wed, 03/19/08 16:31 Nothing like a good waterfowl picture and this one is great. Cold out there, but peaceful. The trees are remarkable. Comments by John Long on Thu, 03/20/08 05:56 The O.P is a super picture Ruth - pictorially and asthetically, the reflections are great and the inclusion of the water birds finally 'make it'for me. Comments by DebbiK on Thu, 03/20/08 17:04 i like the meandering stream in the OP and the ducks and snowflakes are an added delight. The comp is strong in #3. Tin Man stands out nicely in your middle shot. Comments by Dennis Hancock on Fri, 03/21/08 09:31 I think your OP is super. It's a picture that catches your eye instantly, well composed with the captured snow falling. Comments by Ruth Rittichier on Sat, 03/22/08 11:41 Thanks for all the wonderful comments. Believe it or not, we just got hit with about 8 more inches of snow here in Toledo, but I'm not going out there and shoot more snow pix. I'm done with it! Comments by Julie M. Dant on Mon, 03/24/08 19:35 Hey Ruth, I love each of these! But the OP is the prettiest. Wow..I wish I'd get something this beautiful sometime. Great, great job! ;.) Comments by Steve Owen on Mon, 03/24/08 22:08 All of these are great--I especially like the OP. Comments by Maria Koutala on Tue, 03/25/08 17:45 The OP is the best I think, good job Comments by Maria Salvador on Fri, 03/28/08 09:07 All the three are good, but the OP sure is outstanding. All to like there! The tin man is cute, with his snow coat... :-)Not really a warming coat! Comments by Dan Stefan on Sat, 10/11/08 10:35 beautiful series
