Silent Snowflake Portrait

The air felt thick with a quiet hush, and I lingered, letting the wind trace the edges of the pine needles before I even set my camera down. I watched a single snowflake drift, pausing to notice its asymmetry, then waited for the moment when the light would kiss the bark just right—an ordinary scene turned almost sacred. Hours slipped away unnoticed, and the world outside my window became a canvas of muted blues and soft white, a testament that patience can be both a guardian and a distraction. When I finally pressed the shutter, the click felt like a gentle acknowledgment that I had caught a fleeting heartbeat of nature. #nature #photography 🌨️
