Description

This past weekend we had a lot of rain here in Santa Fe. When the rains cleared I looked up at the mountains just out my front door and noticed that it had snowed up there..Santa Fe is at 8,000 ft and the mountains are at 14,000 ft. Yesterday I took a 20 minute drive up the mountain to the Santa Fe Ski Resort to check out the snow..This is completely foreign to me since I lived in sunny(hurricane ridden)Florida for the past 39 years. I was totally fascinated by the snow, especially in October..So thus the title..FIRST SNOW. My pics aren't anything special, however I do like the middle pic of the mountain stream. Everyone have A GREAT WEEKEND. ENJOY TODAY

I am sorry to say, that is something I don't miss from my hometown in Michigan. But, snow is a beautiful site to behold. As long as you don't have to be in it too long. Very nice. Aloha

I also like the first of the three the best. I bet you will add to the snow pictures and share the results. Stay warm and if it is yellow, don't eat it, lol.

I remember my first snow here in New Mexico. I'll never forget it. (Plus I took lots of pictures.) In my town, almost like clockwork, it snows by the time Halloween arrives. Poor kids. LOL. Beautiful shots, Ray.

I've been in LA-FLA-TX too long, Ray. What in all that white STUFF? Strange shots?

it is always a surprise when you wake up to unexpected snow. I like your shots very much and do you have your ski's out?

I miss snow; it means that summers don't get hot enough to kill, although winters might kill... but it's easy to bundle and cuddle in cold weather, not so easy to find water and shade in central Texas heat! (I can only begin to empathize with our lads in the Middle East, though!)

Come On...not used to Snow??? You went to CCSU!!! Back in Connecticut...we have a name for this type of snow...Partly cloudy!!! Seriously, great pic. I always love the way the snow looks in the woods...and I've never seen so many white birches in one single spot!!!

The first snow ? How lucky you are Ray !!! I miss these snowy landscapes ;o((((( I love the 2 shots of Nature, it's so beautiful covered in white, so soft and pure. I don't like the sky resort... they have destroyed all the forest, and there's too much people for me who loves only the wild places ! Very nice shots !
