August 30
For our August Pláticas presentation we are very honored to have well-known writer Sharman Apt Russell. Sharman lives in Silver City NM with her husband and is professor emeritus at Western New Mexico University in Silver City. She has a degree in Creative Writing from the University of Montana and a BS in Conservation and Natural Resources from UC Berkeley. Her works include: Songs of the Flute Player: Seasons of Life in the Southwest, award winning Standing in the Light: My Life as a Pantheist, and a long list of others. Her newest book is Diary of a Citizen Scientist: Chasing Tiger Beetles and Other New Ways of Engaging the World. She is the 2016 John Burroughs Medal for Distinguished Nature Writing. Recipients of the award include Rachel Carson and Aldo Leopold.
This month the Pláticas lecture will take place at the Oñate Center on State Road 68 in Alcalde. It is the large building directly across the road from La Tiendita gas station and store. A large statue of conquistador Don Juan de Oñate stands in front of the building. We are grateful to Tom Romero for making this possible.

October 23
Get your tickets now! Few spaces remain to this wonderful event. It's a day filled with immaculate (we hope) fall weather -- ethereal blue skies filled with mounds of whipped cream clouds, perfectly burnished golden leaves on the cottonwoods lining the Rio Grande. The tour offers up to 25 images of unique flute player petroglyphs, Native American flute music by Taos Pueblo's well-known Patrick Mirabal, some of the best food this side of Paris, and fine wines enjoyed on the Wells home portal. Truly a peak experience.
