Species: Longnose Dace (Rhinichthys cataractae)
Location: Ruidoso Downs, New Mexico
Date: August 9, 2018
I didn’t pace this trip very well. I spent a week in California, a day in Arizona, and two in New Mexico before making it down to Texas. I spent a whole day driving from Phoenix to Roswell, and it wasn’t as quick and painless as I’d planned for.
Frustrated by the lack of water and pins on my route between the two cities, I scrambled t
o find a stop whenever I had service on the barren, 9-hour drive eastward. The only viable spot was in the tiny town of Ruidoso Downs, across the street from a Walmart. I got some supplies, went to the bathroom, and then proceeded to wander down a rough road to a tiny stream. Fishing was difficult since it was so shallow, but I managed to get several tiny fish with my crude, early micro gear.
Despite my extremely limited knowledge and experience on my #SpeciesQuest, I was able to quickly identify the massive schnoz as that of a Longnose Dace. It was almost dark due to my late start that morning, a long lunchbreak, and the torrential rain that slowed traffic to a crawl, so I too ka few terrible pics in the low light and continued on to Roswell, New Mexico.

First of all I would like to say awesome blog!
I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself and
clear your head prior to writing. I’ve had difficulty clearing
my mind in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost
just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
Appreciate it!

Decoding Fake Hermès Handbags: A Complete Examination
The world of premium accessories has continuously been enthralled by Hermès purses, notably their famous Kelly and Birkin styles.
These coveted accessories signify sophistication, craftsmanship, and uniqueness, with values varying from $10,000 to
exceeding half a million dollars for special pieces.
With such high price and popularity, it’s inevitable that Hermes has emerged as one of the most duplicated
luxury brands in the industry.
The Story of Hermès
Founded in 1837 as a saddle shop in Paris, Hermes initiated by making
fine leather saddle goods. The house’s commitment to exceptional craftsmanship was established early and continues
to be their hallmark today. Each Hermes craftsperson requires a minimum of 24 months
of education before they can make their initial purse,
highlighting the company’s devotion to quality.
The famous Kelly bag was introduced in nineteen thirty-five (originally called the “Sac a depeches”), while the
renowned Birkin bag emerged in 1982 following a unexpected encounter between Hermes CEO Dumas and celebrity Birkin on a airplane trip from Paris to England.
The Rise of Fake Hermès Bags
The extreme demand and substantial prices of original
Hermès handbags have produced a substantial demand for counterfeits.
Latest surveys suggest that as many as ninety percent of all Hermes Kelly and Birkin purses available on websites aren’t
actually authentic, causing considerable problems for buyers wanting the genuine article.
Contemporary counterfeiters have developed more and more sophisticated, utilizing cutting-edge methods to
produce persuasive imitations that can be hard to distinguish from genuine bags at first glance.
These knockoffs range from poor-quality obvious fakes to high-quality replicas
that duplicate many elements of authentic Hermès bags.
How to Detect Genuine Hermes Handbags
When inspecting a Hermes handbag to confirm its genuineness, professionals check
numerous key features:
1. Artisanship and Materials
Real Hermes bags are artisan-made with the top grade leathers and outstanding precision. The material should feel smooth and flexible with a
characteristic leather fragrance that counterfeiters cannot copy.
The metal fittings should be solid, crafted from gold-plated metal that won’t tarnish or peel easily.
2. Stitching
One interesting element is that because genuine Hermes bags are hand-stitched,
the stitching should in fact have slight imperfections.
Counterfeits are typically machine-stitched, so they are entirely uniform with one another.
Hermes applies a specific hand-stitching style derived from their saddle-making history.
3. Logo and Marking
The Hermès mark stamp should say “Hermès Paris Made in France” text on 3 lines with distinct defined imprinting.
On replica Hermes handbags, the stamp would appear strange, too big, or boxy and may have unclear edges or inconsistent positioning.
4. Hardware and Details
The metal elements on authentic Hermes handbags includes unique aspects like precise markings,
superior fasteners, and properly fastened base studs. Hermes makes its custom fasteners, so you should never see a
YKK or different brand’s mark on the zipper.
5. Authentication Features
Remarkably, Hermès never provide authentication certificates with their purses.
They have not ever and certainly will never. If you’ve
acquired a Hermès purse and were given an certification card with it, it is unquestionably a
replica.
The Social Implications
The knockoff industry presents important social issues.
While fake purses may look similar to authentic ones, they
are made without the quality standards, ethical labor standards, or sustainability
standards that legitimate high-end houses follow.
Moreover, the knockoff industry has been tied to criminal organizations and
worker mistreatment.
Final Thoughts
For those who admire the craftsmanship and heritage of Hermes, knowing the
difference between genuine and replica bags is important.
Whether investing in for collection or personal pleasure,
learning how to identify genuine Hermes artisanship allows verify that you’re obtaining what you pay for – a example of premium accessory legacy made with matchless artistry
and precision.
If you’re planning on purchasing a Hermes purse, the most secure option is to acquire straight from Hermes or from reliable resellers who deliver thorough
authentication services and guarantees.
