| The Taos Plateau from the west rim of the Rio Grande Gorge just above the John Dunn Bridge |
Between Victor "Cuba" Hernandez and the Taos Plateau you've endured a plague of arid expanses on these pages. The Plateau is a sweep of land that exemplifies William deBuys' description of dry places making the lamentable transition from grasslands to desert scrub. It's also part of the new Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, the lesser part to almost everybody but me.
And speaking of the immortal Cuba, I'm excited to report that I will helping him herd 500 sheep to Colorado within the week. Patron Alfonzo Abeyta's grazing lease ends on January 31 and the borregos must head north or be left to wander the plateau for eternity.
And now I can say "more to come" with absolute certainty. Applause line.

"Monument" will be the subject of a two person show in May at Wilder Nightingale Fine Art in Taos I will share the spotlight with the talented painter Peggy Immel. Be there or be square in the parlance of the sixties.

Congratulations on three levels. First, the lovely photographs of the horizons and rhythms. Second, on assisting with herding Cuba's sheep off the grazing allotment this week, and third, for your May show at Wilder Nightingale. All deserved, and we wait with bated breath for your new photographs! Thanks for pursuing this area, Steve!
