Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley
http://snowflakebentley.com/index.htm
In 1885, self educated farmer Wilson A. Bentley (1865-1931) became
the first person to photograph a single snow crystal. He would go on to
capture more than 5000 snowflakes during his lifetime, not finding
any two alike. This web site is dedicated to Bentley's life work and the
stunning images he left behind
Snowflakes
Images
http://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/photos/photos.htm
The Snow Crystals Web site has beautiful and amazing images of
snow crystals (snow flakes to you and me!) captured by Patricia Rasmussen,
using a new photomicroscopy apparatus designed specifically for capturing
very- high-resolution snow crystal images.
Design
a Virtual Snow Flake
http://www.explorescience.com/activities/Activity_page.cfm?ActivityID=13
With "Snowflake Designer," you can make a 6-sided virtual snowflake
online. It's easy and fun, and you can watch the pattern emerge as you
make it. There are four "scissor" sizes, an "eraser," and a reset button.
You can also copy the finished flakes to your clipboard to save them. Fun
for all ages!

paper snowflakes. It's easy to create beautiful snow flakes.
