Snowy Succulent ~

I just love it when it snows here! The desert landscape is totally transformed and even the ubiquitous agave suddenly looks regal and mysterious. The agave is often referred to as a cactus but it's actually more closely related to the lily and amaryillis. And the heart of the blue agave is the source for... you guessed it.... tequila.
