  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, along with my colleague, 
Representative DeGette, to honor the life of an extraordinary 
Coloradan.
  John Fielder was a prolific nature photographer who lived in Summit 
County since 2006. Over 50 books have been published showing his 
photography.
  John also worked to protect Colorado's ranches, public lands, and 
wildlife. Over his 40 year career, John was recognized on several 
occasions for his work. He received the 1993 Sierra Club Ansel Adams 
Award, the 2011 the Aldo Leopold Foundation's first Achievement Award 
ever given to an individual, and an Honorary Degree in Sustainability 
Studies from Colorado Mountain College.
  We thank John for his work elevating the natural beauty of Colorado 
and for fighting to protect our pristine lands.
