I s...Thanks for reminding me of Snowflake Bentley. I stayed at a B & B in Jericho, VT about 10 years ago. It was a lovely old working farm. Other guests had come from North Dakota and needless to say, the film <I>Fargo</I> kept running through my head. It made for a very interesting breakfast! But back to Bentley. There was a teeny little Bentley museum in town. I thought it was fascinating. "Why this would make a great story for kids," I thought. I purchased a bunch of material to file away for future research. Imagine my dismay when only a few months later, <I>Snowflake Bentley</I>, the book came out, and, it was too good to improve on! Oh well, it's not the first time, nor will it be the last, that one of my recently discovered great subjects will make it into print before I even get my research done! By the way, there's a Dover book of nothing but Bentley's photos of snowflakes, I bought it for my library after that VT trip. It is great to look through.KURIOUS KITTYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972712028425323003noreply@blogger.com
