{dia de los muertos!}

i walked the “day of the dead” parade in my new town and got some fun fotos of some pretty stellar costumes and such.

i didn’t know much about dia de los muertos until just last week.  and now that i do – i gotta say – i’m kind of hooked 😀  i really want to prepare better and dress up next year.  it just looked so fun!

and i’m for celebrating diversity and culture! i miss those two things about NYC the most.  i just appreciate the differences we have, and i love learning about new cultures, or even existing cultures, but really getting immersed in the celebration! everyone here is so welcoming and wonderful.  i met some amazing people and i just had a great time!

{preface : this one is foto-heavy!}

dia de los muertos!

it began with this guy…

not sure if he wore this on purpose, but it was rather fitting for the occasion 😉

LOVED these two! from thunder river theatre…

“live the life”

a lovely lady named laura was kind enough to snap this for me 🙂

frank.

kitties.

lots of cool pumpkins!!!!

and this badass thing – i called it “the bike of a different colour” {oz reference} – it played music and that light changed colours!  super cool.

lots of super cool local art to celebrate and honour the deceased.

i just loved this one!

you know who this is, right?!

beautiful!

i definitely thought of my loved ones that are no longer with us.
