Day of the Dead

One of my favorite holidays is quickly approaching.  No, not Halloween (although, I do love that holiday), I’m referring to Day of the Dead.  A Mexican tradition that is firmly planting it’s foothold in the US.  Make sure you check around your favorite city to see if any Day of the Dead celebrations are being held near you.  You won’t regret it.  If you live in Los Angeles, you can do like me and attend the annual Day of the Dead celebration at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, click here for more info: http://www.ladayofthedead.com/

The photo below was taken at a Day of the Dead display at the Autry National Center for the American West.  A Los Angeles gem of a museum next to the L.A. Zoo.
