Snow Crystal No. 1093
Pictures by Wilson A. Bentley
A single snow crystal, photographed through a microscope by Wilson A. Bentley in Vermont around 1890, glows white against deep navy. Bentley made more than 5,000 such photographs, and they made famous the idea that no two snowflakes are alike. For welcoming a new baby, one of a kind from the start.
