Wouldn't a Badminton racket be more appropriate?
... Here's one I took last winter .. kind of cool.
Very pretty. How big would you say it is/was?
Thank you. Next question was going to be how you took it.Wee tiny ... maybe 1/8 inch. That day we had a dry snow .. just blew the pile around .. fired up the macro .. looked for cool shapes and there you have it!
ROFL yeppers ... gotta get one of those for that 'birdie'

Wow .. didn't expect such a great response to my snowflake ! Glad you all enjoyed it. I have others but you know how it is .. so many pics and not well organized
Anyway .. here's a picture of a mommy cardinal feeding her baby. We have a nesting pair that live in one of our trees. We feed them daily .. all year long. If they are hungry and we haven't gone out to feed them they peck on the patio door glass LOL
If you are not familiar with Cardinals, the female is the one with the orange beak.
Here are a few I took several years ago at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. This park is about 40 miles N. of Las Vegas.

sure is beautiful, cm. it's a real clean, rugged kind of beauty. are the pink flowers related to portculakis by any chance, do you know?

No Vitauta. I don't know. I am always amazed at the vastness of fauna & changing beauty of the desert. It really does have a beauty all it's own. This particular park is noted for it's ancient indian hyroglyphics, heiroglyphics, (ancient indian writing)(spelling?) There are caves and indian writings on the rocks everywhere. The sandstone is simply RED. The earth is fine red like talcum powder in places where it has been worn down by nature. A campground with a view of Lake Mead. Endless Hiking.
A beautiful place if you ever get the opportunity
