This is not a combination that most people think about when they think of New Mexico. We are however at at 7500 ft in elevation so we do get our fair share as you have seen in past post. I love the look of the two in this shot. The smell of the Juniper in the cold was amazing.

Very interesting, Who thinks that it only be worm in the desert?
beau melange neige/terre.
Contradiction is real... :)
Snow, desert and some sun!
Now you're making me want to take a quick trip to southwestern Colorado where our daughter lives...
Beautifully composed photo!
You are right - there is something about the foliage of the Southwest that smells unbelievable. I love it.
Such a contradiction Randy, looks good..I don't know whether it's because I need something sweet to eat, but the snow looks like white icing flowing between the rocks!!
Randy, I love these snow scenes.
Beautiful shot Randy. Every now and then we get to see a fleeting frosting of snow here in the desert and I love to see it settled on the cactus.
I think it makes a nice combination. Something you don't see every day!
This would make a terrific holiday or note card. As you say, many people are surprised to hear that there is snow in Santa Fe. Most Christmas cards feature snow-laden fir trees but this would be different but very genuine! It's a beautiful representation of the winter terrain.
You take the most exotic images lately!
Very nice!
Beautiful shot of the High Desert country around Santa Fe! I can smell the pinyon as well!
I have always loved the contrast between the two. Great job of describing the day also.
What everybody else said - this is a wonderful image!
love the rough terrain. very beautiful!
You are so right about the fragrance of the juniper, and all the better in the cold and snow!
Very nice.
the yin and yang of the the desert!
Pas mal, neige et terre !!!!!!!!
Fabulous shot Randy! I am still amazed that you have so much snow!
I'm loving your header photo. Makes me want to sit right there. I guess, I would have to pull up a chair...I'm assuming it's yours. Got to love rocky hikes with snow. I didn't realize Santa Fe was that high! =)
A little snow cascade!
Love that header!
Such extremes -- love this shot, Randy! :)
I don't think there is anything more beautiful than this!
Really curious !!!!!!
It's a striking combination.
cool shot randy.
It looks like a river of snow... glad that you described the aroma of the trees.

You're right. It's not a combination I would think of :)
But it's perfect!
Greetings
Wonderful!
