Cholla and snow~Cactus Monday 022111

I woke up early Sunday morning to see our valley completely surrounded by snow on all the mountains. So, while hubby was still snoring, I drove up highway 74, which travels above Deep canyon. It snowed all night and, in some patches, it was still snowing. Chains were required and I don't have any for the XTERRA. It was also very icy, so I turned around. But, I did get a couple of photos of cholla with snow, something I've wanated to capture for some time! Cactus monday for February 21, 2011.
