SNOWFLAKE - - for the 2021 Holiday Photography Challenge (See sidebar for full list.).
Snowflakes are sweet, as they float down towards us each winter. But I think flaky friends might be even sweeter sometimes.
Not too many years ago, a group of us were invited to visit another friend at her family’s forest cabin up north. We packed cozy clothes and more than a few tasty snacks and piled into a couple of cars to convoy to the woodsy nest.
While we were there, we ate too much. We stayed up too late. We walked a little too far in the woods. And we laughed even more.
We also created a little craft, burning snowflake images into cross-slices of wood from our friend’s tree-filled acreage.
OK, that’s not altogether true.
The plug-in wood-burning tool took a lot longer than expected, so several of us grabbed black Sharpie markers to finish our ornaments. And why not?
Each year, when I drag
out the Christmas decorations, my rustic homemade snowflake ornaments bring
back happy memories of fellowship with friends.
Disclaimer: I actually took this photo a few years ago. But I haven’t previously published it, and it seems to fit the bill nicely here.
