Dia de los Muertos

Ok, it was drizzling rain yesterday afternoon and I took the low road. I did not attend Birmingham's fabulous Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration for the first time in at least 6 years. Not to worry, I have a stash a mile high. Today I share a photos from 2013, Caroline Wright is a dear friends and talented Birmingham photographer. This girl can dress up!

Remembering Ron

Last night was one of my favorite events in Birmingham, Dia de los Muertos.  It brings our city together to observe this wonderful Hispanic celebration. Friends and family often build altars to remember loved ones lost.  This year was very special for me.  My friend Martha lovingly arranged an altar for her husband and our dear friend Ron Council .  Ron was a fabulous man and loved by so many in our community. She chose just the right photos and mementos that exemplified Ron so perfectly! Ron Council, we miss you so, but remember you with such love for your life and all you meant to all of us and the city of Birmingham!
