Saturday Album

I have had a busy Saturday morning. Bobbi and I got up early to travel to Santa Fe where I addressed the annual New Mexico Wilderness Alliance conference. This is a great group of people.


This is Dave Foreman, an Albuquerquean who is known nationwide for his work on wilderness, land protection, and species protection. He gave a heartwarming speech.


This is Bob and Philinore Howard. They are long time public land advocates. They are conservative politically but have the good sense to know that being conservatives and environmentalists at the same time makes a lot of sense.



After leaving the conference we stopped by Pena Blanca on the way back to Albuquerque. We have been doing a huge amount of work on our family properties there. We have 40 irrigated acres that were in need of reclamation. Hundreds of Siberian elm trees have been taken down.

These are some of the guys who have been doing this tough work. They all are really wonderful guys and very articulate. They like to talk politics.

This is Ben from San Felipe.
This is Sam, the foreman of the crew.

This is Bill, who works with our Lessee.

I really love taking pictures of people like this. It sounds corny, but they are the salt of the earth.

We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.
