On December 3, 2025, in Warrenton, MO (USA), I awoke to beautiful frost formations stretched across my front yard and outdoor objects. My car windows tend to be an excellent place for frost to grow and expand without limit. The frost edges and designs spread widely across the window, and as I looked at them, I felt as if I could see dragon patterns in the icy display. Heads, legs, wings, and long bodies, as if ice dragons were coming out to play before melting into just a memory.
I have enjoyed taking pictures all my life. In March 2018, I captured a real-life snowflake resembling a flower. I fell in love with it and began pursuing macro photography. My photographs became the illustrations in my book series, Washed as White as Snow. The snowflake designs tell different aspects of the story of Jesus Christ's good news for the world. I believe God creates and uses the snowflakes to magnify how all creation glorifies Him by telling the story of His redeeming love for mankind. I enjoy taking nature photos and sharing God's beauty in plants, animals, and landscapes.
