On my short and I mean short walk (it was so cold) to capture some snow shots, I came across this cactus with a little snow still on it. I was careful not to get too close.
What's this? You don't like the cold either? A short walk because of the cold? I like the cholla and long for the desert but it can be bitterly cold there too.

I remember one time thinking it would be okay if I just very carefully lightly touched a cactus needle. Wrong!
Very pretty, Randy.
Looks quite beautiful if a bit dangerous! Nice shot, Randy!
it's such a contrast to see snow on a cactus!
Looks a bit delicate and should NOT be covered by snow. Guess I'll have to start checking SF's temperatures.
There is something striking about a cactus with snow on it. Nice shot.
Very nice picture, I likethe idea of the snow...
A sticky situation, taking a cold walk to get a pic of snow on a cholla! Made for a fine photo!
Awesome shot Randy!
I love the juxtaposition of cactus and snow...wonderful! Now stay in from the cold and have a warm toddy!
That's a strange combination! I always think about cactus unnder warm temperatures. ;-)
that's a great shot!
Very pretty, all "looky" no "touchy".
Very well done, a beautiful composition!I'm so anxious to see snow here this winter!But for now...only rain! :(

A Beauty Randy!
wouldn't want to slip on some snow onto that cactus :X
Good idea not to get too close, even though it looks very pretty.
It does look quite dangerous!
Beautiful paradox! Nice shot. Keep warm Randy! =)
Absolutely beautiful!
Now all it needs is a few golden baubles...
I liked Randy, good shot.
Give us little snow, we like sky.jjj
Cacti and snow! The things I learn on blogs.
Beautiful...Great shot Randy...
I don`t believe it! The photograph is amazing!!! :)
Fun to see snow on such a sun loving plant.
Randy, such great snowy photos you taken and shared with us. Thanks! And thanks for visiting Portland Oregon Daily Photo.
Now those are some serious prickles Randy and I definitely agree with John Ruskins views on weather, it's all good!
That is beautiful! I just love seeing snow on cacti. I don't know why, but it has always been one of my favorite things.
This is beautiful... Christmas card anyone??
it'a a nice contrast between the golden flowers, cactus stem and the snow.
Fantastic! I have a passion for cacti but never seen any on a snowy environment.
Love it! Greetings from Norway :)
