I had the same problem trying to decide between the same two pictures TTB.
Doncha wish you were just THERE in photo #1. I sure do, especially after this 3 or 4-day storm we have just experienced.
BTW, where in the mountains are you from and are you going?
Drive safe, enjoy the holidays.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!! :santa:

Yes, I wish I were there, especially after the blowing of all of this powdery snow the last couple of days. However, the mountains aren't much fun either if that wet, heavy snow blows and drifts...much tougher to get through than dry snow drifts!!!
I personally think whoever took the "Cat in the Tree" picture should sell it to a Christmas Card company!!!
I'm originally from the San Juan Mountains in Southwestern Colorado, near the town of Durango--and that's where we're headed next week. Mr. TTB always finds it amazing that when we leave North Central SD and head south that we're only half way to my folks in Denver--but the mountains really slow driving and don't typically allow for roads to be built by "the shortest distance between two points" theory, as you well know!!!
Here's a picture of where my folks run their cattle in the summertime:
And a picture of the cow's "winter home" in NW NM, taken in April:
You and yours have a safe and Happy Holiday season too!
Christmas Cheers,
TTB :santa:
