No one has commented on their local weather yet this weekend, so let me be the first. We had snow here, at 4600 feet and above, and just a mile from Mexico.  Ann took this one quite early, about 0730.  Later, we drove up Hunter Canyon  It's nice, driving where no one else has yet driven during the day.  I'm using the D200, so Ann is using her Sony W80. We could have more snow later today. So far, the weather is much nicer than what was forecast. Is the weather interesting where you are today? How about some pictures? Dennis |

Dennis - Simply put, these are wonderful. What a great accent the fairly light snow puts upon all the desert features. I am especially attracted to "Hunter Canyon" (third one posted) but all are mighty worthy shots. It is spring-like here in DC today, in the mid-sixties as I write this.
Best,
James

Thanks, Nancy and James,
Snow here in Hereford, AZ is quite unusual. I believe that we had three snowfalls last year (the last one being on April 23), and that was an extremely rare frequency. Today's is the first snowfall this winter. It does dress up the place.

Very nice I saw it one time when I lived there but you captured it better than I ever did. Now for our weather it is 70F overcast windy and tornadoes and thunderstorms forecast for the night with flash flooding through tomorrow AM with some clearing and lower temperatures.
So if you don't here from me for a few days you know why.

No. 2 looks mysterious to me. I like these very much.
James - why did I think you were up North?
Regards,
Reed

Great series, Dennis. It's hard for me to put that scenery together with the recollection of our return trips thru AZ from Mexico, while vacating our boat during hurricane season. All I can recall is 95' on a cool day! :eek:

Lovely weather Dennis. Snow in the dessert always makes it look so magical. And the clearing clouds are great too.
My sister, brother-in-law, and Mom have spent the last two months in Phoenix trying to evade the Indiana weather, and it followed them there. They go back tomorrow through Flagstaff, where it will be below 20 degrees by the time they reach that point.

Snow birds are the only reason we used to make money in Arizona. We loved them to their face.  |

Wonderful shots. Best part of snow in the desert must be the quietness.

This snow bird reporting in from 83F St. Augustine who hasn't seen a snowflake in 2011. Oh, how I miss the snow, really! Skiing and ice fishing were my winter passions.
Anne and you have captured some gorgeous winter landscapes. Anne's early morning mountain range and your trail blazing shots that follow are breathtaking.
Brava! Bravo! Bravi!

Wonderful photos Dennis. We had around 24" total last week up here in NC PA!

You don't need me to tell you that 2 and 3 are stunning. It looks like the transition to the desert has worked well. Do you have anything from that macro style shot Ann is taking?
Your colours out of the D200 look special to me. Would you mind sharing your workflow when you have time?
I am finding that the latest version of View NX2 from Nikon is useful for post processing shots from the D200. It doesn't have nearly as many bells and whistles as Aperture and Lightroom but it seems to have everything I need.
And I like to think that it is somehow meshed in with the mysteries of the Nikon files, both NEF and JPEG. :cool:
I might start another thread to see what other Nikon digital users think.
all the best
Dan
