I'm a macro photographer because I see Jesus Christ-themed designs in snowflakes. This real-life group of snowflakes, exactly as they fell on Dec. 1, 2025, shares the Good News of Jesus! The Bible says creation (including snow) cries out for His glory. In this photo, I see the cross, the symbol of Jesus Christ, a perfect man and God's son, who shed his blood for our sins. When we believe in His death, burial, and resurrection, we are washed as white as snow and given the promise of eternity in Heaven. Isaiah 1:18 (KJV) says, "Though your sins be like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow."
