Soothing
The local news this morning in New Mexico is weighted heavily with heart wrenching words about the fire in the Jemez Mountains near Los Alamos. Bandelier National Monument has been evacuated, residents of White Rock and Los Alamos are voluntarily evacuating, with not only their important belongings but raw memories of the Cerro Grande fire that ripped through their community in May 2000. The fires also remind me of the helicopter ride I took with the Gila Wilderness Rappellers in May of 1994. That particular trip was ostensibly for a newspaper or magazine article I was proposing but, in the end, when three of the team members were killed while fighting a fire, the article became a tribute in the Santa Fe New Mexican. Such sobering thoughts this Monday morning leads me to place two thirst-quenching, gentle photographs in today's blog. Disparate but soothing, nonetheless.
