Yucca at Guadalupe N/P in snow storm

Comments greatly appreciated. Taken in exteme wind and snow

conditions with sun just occasionaly breaking through clouds.

Guadalupe National Park, Texas.

One of the most beautiful photos I have seen in a long time. How magnificent that a talented photographer was present with a camera! Very beautiful!

Looks like rime. The early morning mist comprises super-cooled droplets that freeze on impact. Beautifully lit.

Considering the storm I'm quite impressed with how wonderful this image is. How cold was it and how did you manage to keep the lens clear of spots?

Hi Shawn, It was 28 degrees by my trucks thermometer when I stepped out. I shot about 10 photos. The wind was blowing about 30 mph I guess. Very cold. It was like being in fog that was snowing. The sun this high up (5000 ft) was in and out as you can see. Between shots I kept my camera in my jacket and the lens cover on. I think the shots were just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. It was shot on aperature priority, iso 50, 1/200, f10, handheld. I pretty much just waited for the sun to peek out and snapped one off.
