Somewhere in Jalisco, Mexico, there is a ranch that is my most favourite place. Walking, hiking, paddling the boat on the reservoir, bike riding and, of course, taking photos!

I hear that deer come to feed around 2 am in the alfalfa and corn fields, but so far I haven't been able to stay awake to see them. One day ... one day ...
