A few New Mexico Photos and HP

I am very excited about the new Harry Potter book, I just know I will not have a chance to read it until I get back from New Mexico. I am afraid that I will hear about the ending before I get to read it. Oh well. Such is life.





New Mexico has been great fun, though the work is really tiring. Long days in the field and long nights keying out plants. We are working along the Gila River, which is great because we can take a swim break if it gets too hot. And it does get hot. Many of the plots that I have worked on are on gravel/cobble bars along the river. I don't even want to know what the temperature there. Well over 100 I am sure. But the plants are cool and the experience is great.
