diaphanous - adjective - light, transparent, fine
Diaphanous is another one of my favorite words as I like everything about it: the spelling, the musicality of its pronunciation, its sensical etymology, and positive connotation/denotation. According to Google, the word comes from the Greek, diaphanes: dia = through and phainein = to show. Put them together and you have to show through.
Diaphanous is the perfect term to describe each snowflake showering down from the heavens this morning. Although some may be growing tired of the winter phenomenon, I can't get enough of it. To be shrouded in white is to be blanketed in light, and we need all the light we can get - at least here in Jersey. Those in Texas might disagree, though.
Enjoy your Monday!!!!
