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 like the three...but, particually the first Image, it really is a beaut!
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.
These are all fantastic images, Ray! The middle one with those fall colors is my fav!!!! didn't realize you guys got snow so early! incredible!!! :)
wonderful shots ray! wow snow already oh my its only october was 91 degrees here today!!.. ma goodness!!.. brr shivers winters on its way!!
Great images and marvellous nature.
Crystal clear shots that looks so refreshing. Very beautiful snow shots. Aloha
beautiful trio ! Snow already ! even here in Belgium we had about 80 yesterday !
oh no ! snow is so cold - ;-( but looks wonderful ! ;-D
Yes, I like that second shot the best too!! The contrast of colors is beautiful!! And it sounds like a really nice place to live in!
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!)
Nice images! I hope to see TONS of snow this year! As i have a dog sled now to hook up the boy & girl. So bring it on!!! Thanks for the exciting images!!!
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!!!
Well done - I can wait to see this sight myself. Top and middle look very good to me.
enjoy the cold winter up there great shots
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 !
Excellent photos... Living in Canada for 51 years, my love with winter is no longer... I'm a 100% summer person...
Wonderful shots ..very crisp and clear..colors are sharp..Superb!!!
Living in Florida for such a long time I get the feeling you're just enjoying the snow here like a kid, seeing it for the first time! Impressive series!
They are special to me Ray. Remember...living in FL here! Love to see the white stuff, I'd love to visit and build a snow man with you! =]
Nice images reminder that the winter season is almost here.
Bravo ...you win the prize for first Snow! :-) And am I ever glad it's not here YET! LOL Even though I dread it, I must admit that middle shot is gorgeous! :-) Let's make snowmen Dad!! gets ray in the back of the head with a nice wet snowball hehehe Isn't this fun? LOL V
