Shades of Mexico Written by Phyllis Kaltenbach about 1985 or 6:
It is hot and dusty and the lady sweeps the bare yard until the ground is clean, like cement.
The little burros carry loads of grass and lumber and/or delivers milk, a large milk can on either side.
Ladies wade out into the river on a hot day and scrub the clothes clean and husbands, children and/or pets may keep them company.
A tiny donkey comes toward you carrying a very large man.
And the Oxen pull the plow while the field is being planted by hand.
You can travel through the desert for hours and suddenly, you see an Oasis of Palm Trees, a cool green, a village and a river.
There are green parrots and monkeys of their own shades.
Then there are fertile valleys with orchards and sugarcane and Magwey on the hillsides. Steep mountains, gentle hills, winding roads and so many crops!
Scruffy jungle and lush green jungle.
Ruins torn almost, to the ground and beautiful, overpowering pyramids that you can walk through, down into or to the top!
Pretty little villages and friendly people, town squares and Farmers Markets!
Fruits and veggies and buckets of Prawns in all sizes.
There are young children working their jobs, learning the family trade. Some in the Mariachi Band, others, dancing in bright colorful costumes.
Breathtaking waterfalls where you might not have expected.
Ladies carrying bowls of dough or corn on their head. (They prefer not to be photographed!)
The little 5 year old boy that my husband teased with a “slight of hand” with a quarter!. Oh, he was so mad! until the quarter reappeared so suddenly. The little boy who I taught to float on his back in a shallow pool. He was thrilled!
Two children, on a burro taking their wares to town. (photo)
The Herder and his/her flock of goats and sheep quietly making their way along a six lane highway.. Or into a sunset along a dusty road. (photo)
Oh, there is so much beauty to be seen, so many nice people to meet. This is the best way I know to show you, “The Shades of Mexico.” The FAA watermark will not show on any of your beautifully finished products from FAA.***Story and Photo by Phyllis Kaltenbach

Phyllis, great shot. The boys look like they are having fun and that poor dog looks like it needs some food. f/l

Yes, they may not have enough food for the dog, but he is happy to be with the boys. He may just run the fat off, following those boys around all the time, Smiles!
