It's Snow Joke! 0481
On the last day of the Festival of the Cranes 2013 the weather took a turn. A strong storm blew in overnight, dropping 4 to 6 inches of snow in portions of New Mexico and transforming the area into a slick and slippery mess. It also created a wealth of photographic opportunities. I came prepared for a lot of weather but not for snow. As you might imagine, wet feet predominated the day. The pastel colors of the New Mexican countryside were muted by feathery flakes. Sandhill cranes and snow geese almost seemed confused, thinking that they had already left this form of precipitation up north. By mid morning road crews had cleared the major highways, and I was able to make my flight in Albuquerque later that day. Not knowing if you can get to the airport is a real worry. Really, it's snow joke! #ILoveWildife #ILoveNature #ILoveBirds #WildlifePhotography in #NewMexico #Nature #Birds #Birding #BosquedelApacheNWR #DrDADBooks #Photography #Picoftheday #Photooftheday
