Every Día de Muertos, I love seeing the artistry of public ofrendas, feel honored being welcomed into the homes of friends and placing pan de muertos on their very personal ofrendas, and enjoy assembling my own ofrenda to departed loved ones. (Click on each image to see the details.)
I love the spicy and welcoming scents of cempasúchitl (marigolds), lacy flor de muerto from the Sierra Norte, pan de muertos, and incense of copal.

These are achingly beautiful!
In the first one, the backdrop is a telling of historic importance, and the sentiment of the alter scene had me scrutinizing carefully.
Miss this gorgeous season very much!
Thanks, as always, for the views!
Yes, the background mural is spectacular and adds so much context. Come back soon!
espectacularas!
¡Gracias!
Beautiful!
I am always blown away and very moved.
Beautiful ofrendas! Sorry we couldn’t get together this time. The Oaxa-mala Weaving Expo Venta went very well!
Thanks. We will get together next time you are in town! I saw the weavers from Guatemala and the Dreamweavers on the 3rd in Teotitlán and I know several people who bought items at one or both events. I hope the weavers did well.
