读过 Snowflake Bentley 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
突然觉得读书也有timing这一说来着。如果早一个月读，我可能都不太能体会书中所说雪花的美“不输于苹果花”，因为此前我这辈子没有见过苹果花。然而这一个月密集见了许多粉白又缤纷的满树苹果花开，可以更好地去想象Bently先生对雪花的欣赏。
真好啊，他可以专注认真地爱雪花爱几十年。他的爸爸妈妈也很好，很爱他，用十头牛的价钱支持十几岁的他，买最好的相机拍无人问津的雪花，只因为他的好奇和着迷。

From the time he was a small boy, Wilson Bentley saw snowflakes as small miracles. And he determined that one day his camera would capture for others the wonder of the tiny crystal. Bentley's 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. His story is gracefully told and brought to life in lovely woodcuts, giving children insight into a soul who had not only a scientist's vision and perseverance but a clear passion for the wonders of nature. "Of all the forms of water the tiny six-pointed crystals of ice called snow are incomparably the most beautiful and varied." -- Wilson Bentley. SNOWFLAKE BENTLEY won the 1999 Caldecott Medal.
