Day of the Dead...or more properly Dia de los Muertos is the celebration, particularly in Mexico, of families gathering to celebrate their ancestors and helping to support their spiritual -- or through the spirit world -- journey.
The three heads shown below, which decorated the front awning of a building in downtown Sayulita, is representative of the style of the artwork associated with the Dia.
Typically celebrated October 31st through November 2nd, the Dia is a way for us to pay respect for those who have come this way before, and in many ways laid out the pathways we walk today.
...all smiles because they are in a better place.
