Transitory

The beauty of a thin shield of ice shining in the sun certainly is transitory-- especially if there's someone watching you take a picture of if. This flake got clobbered by a big kid with a rock about 10 seconds after I took this shot. So, is it better to not look too closely, and let it melt slowly in the sun, or to record the splendor for posterity, thus bringing about its immediate, though not intentional, demise?
