The Beauty of Transience


It snowed yesterday, and I couldn't help but notice how intricate the snowflakes were. It takes really specific conditions to make them into perfect little hexagonal crystals. The accumulating snow on the sidewalks sparkled like glitter. I captured these snowflakes on the sleeve of my coat, because they melt instantaneously upon coming in contact with skin. The snow is largely gone after a sunny day, and the impermanence of the otherworldly scene only further heightens its beauty.
