Now through March 13
Read this family-friendly book while walking through the winter woods along a one-mile trail. Follow the illustrated signs along the trail at Oak Point Farm (60 Samoset Road, Boothbay Harbor) as they tell a tale that connects you to your natural surroundings. The story trail starts from the parking lot kiosk. The current read-aloud book, “Snowflake Bentley,” is by Jacqueline Briggs Martin with illustrations by Mary Azarian. This is the true story of Wilson Bentley from Vermont, mystified by snowflakes since boyhood. Bentley was determined that one day his camera would capture the wonder of the tiny crystal. His enthusiasm for photographing snowflakes was often misunderstood in his time, but his patience and determination revealed two important truths: no two snowflakes are alike, and each one is startlingly beautiful.

Hoffner captures these “galactic oddities” in the ice by skating out on the frozen lakes in the morning. With his camera aimed straight down at the refrozen ice, Hoffner captures black and white images that have the appearance of galaxies filled with shining stars or living cells.

Martin Fone examines the science behind snow and explores the history of snowfalls in the UK.
It is estimated that about a million billion snowflakes fall around the world every second, averaged over a typical year. My mind is boggled by such incredibly large numbers: to put it into context, that is enough snow for every person on planet Earth to make a snowman every ten minutes.
Some flakes have chosen to fall in my garden as I write this, but, alas, not in sufficient quantities to warrant me rummaging around for a carrot and two pieces of coal.
