The Guayava Hustle on the Huerta

The sorting of guava's by uncle-in-law (left) and grandfather Jesus Escalera's (right) orchard located in Mesa Redonda, Zacatecas, Mexico near the municipality Calvillo, Aguascalientes, Mexico where he has lived most of his life and where all of my family is from.

Guava is proudly claimed and loved by those who originate from Calvillo and is known as the "Guava Capital of the World".  My grandfather's primary residence is in a rural community named Palo Alto, Calvillo, Aguascalientes population is ~241 

  

Fotoshop of 3 Generations of Escalera Family

(Left) Great grandfather Jose Escalera Escobar c. 1914 - 2005. (Center) Great great grandfather Estanilado Escalera c. 1894 - c. 1965. My aunt Cristina Escalera had someone 'fotoshop' various photos to create this one. You'll notice the "photoshopping" in the removal of the hands that were on my grandfather Jesus Escalera's(right) shoulders as indicated by the blurring, sweet pic. Sadly, my grandpa Jesus Escalera's passed away this X-Mas RIP 12-25-2011.
