News and Events "NEST"
Price $24.95 NEST "A Journey Through Nature - A Way Back Home" is the first book published by Wild Geese Publishing. It celebrates a journey home towards our true calling, where we remember how it is to tread gently on the earth. Filled with full-color, exquisite images of nature throughout by photographer Geraint Smith, the book is an expression of gratitude to the earth, our home, for surrounding us with an abundance of unconditional beauty. When we look at a tree and can then become the tree, we realize that in this vast loving universe, we are complete, just as we are. Everywhere we look, whether at the simplest shadow cast by a blade of grass or a majestic landscape filled with dramatic color and form, both experiences leave us with an undeniable feeling of how good it is to be alive. The book is beautifully edited and designed by Lesley Cox with a foreword by Jim O'Donnell, Author of "Notes for the Aurora Society" WILD GEESE FUND Proceeds from the sale of NEST and sales on Wild Geese go to the Wild Geese Fund supporting art and educational programs for children that focus on inspiring creativity in nature.

Perfection is in the Moment. In the Wild, Photo Exhibit by Geraint Smith, July 9, 6 to 8 p.m.
"Shakespeare's Fifteenth Sonnet ... which starts out: 'When I consider every thing that grows holds in perfection but a little moment ...' has left an indelible mark in me since I first recited it as a kid. I feel that perfection needs only to be a little moment and that striving for anything more separates me from that instant. In my photography I look for that essential moment knowing that is all there is and I move on. The images in "In The Wild" - a benefit for Rivers & Birds, best represent the little moment of perfection in us all and the wonderful inseparable part of nature we are. Please join me on July 9th to support Rivers & Birds environmental programs that provide our local youth with opportunities to experience this magic in nature!" Geraint Smith Rivers & Birds is honored to have fine art photographer Geraint Smith present "In the Wild: Images of Land and Light." Opening night for the show will take place on July 9 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Rivers & Birds Office in Arroyo Seco. The show will continue throughout July: Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. 575-776-5200 Sales from this photographic exhibit of nature will benefit Rivers & Birds. At the show's opening, we will draw five raffle prizes including: a Canyon Light photographic print by Geraint Smith, a half-day guided photography outing with Geraint, a Los Rios River Runners’ day-long raft trip for two on the Rio Chama or Rio Grande, an Ojo Caliente Mineral Spring private pool pass for two, and a Taos Ski Valley summer chairlift ride for two.

Testimonial: Geraint, Susan and I wanted to thank you for the wonderful day we were able to spend with you last Wednesday. Thanks for so many things - for showing us how to use our camera features more efficiently, for new ways of "seeing" a subject, balance and composition - we could go on and on! We have lived in NM most of our lives but had never seen many of the places you took us. The weather was stunning - thunder clouds, rainbows, mountain villages. It was a day that we were truly filled with wonder at all we saw! You were so very patient with us as we would try to grasp concepts that come naturally to you. And I know that you went "beyond the call of duty" as evening and night fell, trying to get an uncooperative Photoshop program to stay in raw mode. Please thank your daughter for us for keeping you so late! And finally,
it was a pleasure to get to know you as a person, not just a photographer. Mark and Susan Schumpert, Maine
