Thanks for looking, Rick, and for your kind comments. I tried several different shutter speeds to try to depict the falling snow. Faster speeds stopped the action, but showed how large the snow flakes were. Slower speeds blurred the flakes too much, until they began to resemble fog. 1/20 th of a second seemed to best show both the size of the flakes and the speed at which they were falling.
The contrast between the snow and the red dogwood leaves are what caused me to grab the camera and head outdoors in the first place. The greenery in the background I think helps to illustrate that this is an early and unexpected snowfall.
