Today, Mum and I ventured into the great big world to celebrate el Dia de los Muertos. In short, it's a Mexican holiday that celebrates life and those that have passed on before us. In primary school, we used to decorate sugar skulls and have our faces painted and although tempted to join the queue of five year olds waiting to be turned into mini Catrina's, I stayed behind my camera today and nibbled on some churros instead. The bright colors always make me feel cheery and we couldn't have asked for more perfect weather. I tend to think of death as being grim, but this holiday always gives me a fresh perspective on things, ya know? Here are a few shots of my most favorite alters and the decorations and gifts people have left. Espero que disfruten!
