Snow on the Mountains

The inside of my car windshield this morning

We had quite a rain event yesterday afternoon here in the Las Cruces area, and one result of the precipitation was a light layer of snow on the Organ Mountains this morning.  The Organs always look beautiful even if the layer of white stuff on them is only a dusting.  As you can see from the images here I took far too many photos of the frosted mountains.  My excuse is that I'm still experimenting with my new Canon PowerShot.  Becca and I enjoyed our long trek today even when it felt rather cold in the outback.
