Life in New Mexico

In 2008 my wife and I retired and moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico. It’s blue skies and dry climate are like a new world. I am a biologist and I have never tired of Nature. New Mexico offers new interests and adventures. My interests have expanded to include geology and nature photography. I am also a volunteer at Valles Caldera National Preserve. My motto (does anyone have them anymore?): Adventures are where you find them so don't stay in the house.
