I don't have a lot to say about the flowers I've photographed in Mexico because, quite frankly, I don't know the names of many of them. So I'll let the flowers do most of the talking. Feel . . .

During our stay here in Mexico we've noticed that there are two major groups of people. There are the local people and there are the tourist. Sometimes it's easy to tell them apart. Other times . . .

The trip down to Mexico took a little longer than expected. But, I was in the Zihuatanejo Airport by 6:30. Only about an hour late. I was one of the first to get through immigration and baggage . . .

Last Fall I went on a trip to Mexico. In fact, it's the 6th consecutive Fall that I found myself in Mexico.
