Sometimes color seems like a distraction, so an experiment in de-saturation from the last day of Carnaval in Teotitlán del Valle.
The eyes have it
Dancing the jarabe is serious
Something in the way she moves
I’m coming, darlings
Shouldering a basket of offerings
Let me think about it
A jumble of offerings
The women watch
Shade, por favor
Bringing the xicapextle
Bucket full of blessings
Viejos with snake on a cane
For some outstanding up-close and full color photos, head over to Oaxaca-The Year After.

Great pics! BTW, I went to see Lila Downs this past Friday. She put on an amazing concert in Houston!
Glad you got to go! A friend saw her a month ago in Minneapolis and said the same thing.
Wow ~~ your experiment really paid off! I LOVE those pictures.
Xicapextle?
Thanks! Hope you and the dogs are staying cool.
