I woke up Saturday morning and discovered that this fella and a few million of his buddies decided to drop by.
I put together my tried and true DIY macro photo setup (taped two 50mm f1.8 lenses together face-to-face, attached them to my camera along with a flash bracket and flash aimed just in front of the lens combo) and headed out to get a few shots of the guests.
I set up a mirror on my deck to collect some subjects, then moved in and fired away. The dark background is courtesy of the reflection of my camera. The blue tone was provided by setting the camera's white balance to incandescent. The flash (at 1/16 power) added just enough definition to the icy flakes.
Brrr. Nice.

The contrast of the warm ducky and the Brrrr snowflake is outstanding!!
That is a nearly perfect shot.
