Not even mountain snow? That's kinda sad, Gail. I'd mail a snowball over to 
you if I ever get any snow here again, except you've probably seen the 
melted kind. ;)


seen that falling star already. Has some surrealism going on there if 
thinking of the snow in the sky as being a starry night along with the other 
foreground snowflakes in front of the terrain. I considered the falling star 
to be artistic license anyway, so it looked right to me.

I guess if you wanted to get technical about it we probably couldn't see the 
snowflakes much beyond the room light, except for the haze created by the 
numerous flakes farther out (which you definitely got right). This is how I 
considered the falling star to be magically appearing through all that, 
without thinking of the sky as actually being star-filled at the same time. 
Of course, the Christmas theme helped see it that way. :)
