Creosote Bush
This is a desert plant which is commonly found in the western United States and Mexico.
This particular shrub happens to be in my back yard, and that made it easy for me to capture this image.
There is a heavy fine snow falling, and this wipes out the background and enhances the bush. I have often used snow as a means of covering up obnoxious distractions and bringing out the beauty of an otherwise unattractive subject.
