snow grains - or at least that's what it looks lik

was outside in the dark and noticed how the remains of the snow looked almost like grains of rice - with a bit of sparkle. Attempted a few shots, although so cold was too shaky for extremely crisp (pun alert) one. I did some other pics a few days ago and forgot to post them up. The snow this year is eminently more photogenic than 2010.
