Mexico 2008 |
| This trip was primarily for photography of Reptiles and Amphibians, but I did get a few scenics, buttlerflies, dragonflies, and some plants. I made the trip with my oldest son, Troy and several of his friends. We spent 10 days traveling in eastern Mexico. I am still in the process of identifying plants and scorpions. |
