These gnarly old trees on a backroad that runs up to the carretera between Jocotepec and Ajijic seemed to me to be dancing. Please click on them to enlarge the photos.

They look like ironwood. You’re in the right place for them. They are the most interesting trees I’ve ever seen.

I have no idea what they are. I love how they don’t cut trees in Mexico. There is a long street in Ajijic where the trees actually are out in the road. You have to swerve around them…like in Carmel, CA. It is illegal to cut down a tree here unless you plant another.

They look absolutely amazing. Like they have a life – and stories – all of their own.

That’s exactly what I was thinking as I saw them the first time.
