artwork by Scott Garcia (http://www.hypercanvas.com/)...today I went to the "Celebrate the Earth Fest" here in ABQ today and it was fabulous!
In a perfect world... I would have been able to be part of it... but it was wonderful to be able to go and see all the great items for sale by vendors, and all the information booths.
I am truly a "hippie" at heart....or whatever that means and implies.
I was born in the 60's.. and even though most of my memories are really of the 70's... I identify more with the whole "peace and love" movement.
I really felt at home at the recycle show.
There were solar companies... herbs... plants....tons of art....ROCKS!!!.... and great music.
I was doubly blessed... to not only be able to go to the show with some great people....but I also got to meet and get re-acquainted with several artists that I greatly admire.
So--- sit back... and I hope you enjoy some photos from the event:
