The Amazing Spider-Pig - 10/4/11
2011 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
Time lapse video taken by Dan Otero on 10/4/11.
This was about 4 hours of early morning shooting. I really enjoy the shot of all the balloons lifting off. Spider-Pig was a new balloon this year–it does whatever a Spider-Pig does!

Chris Poole, Education Animal Curator/Facilities Manager at The Wildlife Center (TWC) in Española, NM, was featured on KOAT 7 on 10/18/11.
Here’s the Video. From the article by Alana Greenfogel at KOAT 7:
ESPANOLA, N.M. — A bunch of bears are heading back to their homes in the New Mexico wilderness.
Five bears were released from Espanola’s wildlife center on Monday. The center’s main mission is to beef up bears that are left starving and scarred because of drought or wildfires.
“(We look to) really just fatten them up and try to pack on as much weight as we possibly can,” center worker Chris Poole said.
Once the bears are plump enough to survive in the wild, they’re set free. Nearly a dozen bears will be released from the wildlife center soon.

Smokey and burned, yet unbowed. New Mexico, 2011.
Here are some stunning images of the Las Conchas fire, near Los Alamos, NM. Las Conchas is now the largest fire in New Mexico history. ¡Que lastima!
Here are some phenomenal satellite images of northern New Mexico from the International Space Station. Here’s an insightful post, with the official fire document (PDF), the wikipedia entry, and a slashdot.org discussion.
The fire started on June 26, 2011, when a tree apparently fell on a power line. On the first day, the fire burned 3500 acres, driven by strong and unpredictable winds.

The fire burned over 230,000 acres as of July 15, pushed north by winds into the Pajarito Mountain Ski Area.
Santa Clara Pueblo and Santa Clara canyon have been threatened by the fire. The fire also burned south, threatening Cochiti, New Mexico.
By June 30, the burned area had increased to over 103,000 acres (161 sq mi), making it the largest fire in New Mexico history (the second largest is the 2003 Dry Lakes Fire, which burned over 94,000 acres).

Mandatory evacuation orders were issued for Los Alamos as of June 27, and Los Alamos National Laboratory was closed to all non-essential personnel. The evacuation order was lifted on July 3, at which time Los Alamos residents were allowed to return to their homes. The Los Alamos National Laboratory re-opened on July 6. As of July 14, 2011, the fire was 57% contained.

16,000 acres of the Santa Clara pueblo burned in the fire, much of it in the pueblo’s watershed. 45% of the watershed was burned, leading to fears of flooding. The pueblo is currently preparing for floods.
On June 27, the fire reached Los Alamos National Laboratory. Only a one acre spot fire burned on lab property before firefighters extinguished it. That was the only time the fire burned on lab property. Authorities reported that the fire did not currently threaten essential buildings.

The NMD crew is back from a 4 night film expedition in the Pecos Wilderness.
The Pecos Wilderness has several peaks exceeding 12,000 feet (3,700 m), including Santa Fe Baldy, 12,622 feet (3,847 m), and South Truchas Peak, 13,102 feet (3,993 m), the second highest peak in the state.
We camped at the one dry spot between two beautiful lakes, in the high mountain cirque beneath North Truchas peak, 13,024 ft (3,970 m).
We also saw the Mourning Cloak butterfly (nymphana antiopa), which happens to be the state insect of Montana.
