See the sights of the 5th annual Los Angeles Dia De Los Muertos Festival held each year at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

Interesting note....The Hollywood Forever Cemetery is the only cemetery in the country that allows any type of Day of the Dead Festival to be held on its grounds.

This year, it actually rained. Just a little...wimpy California rain. Just enough rain to spot your eye glasses, very annoying. But it was nice to have to put out some of the wildfires. The lighting was a little low, but I was able to take some pretty good pics.

This whole festival is a photographers dream. There are so many things to take pictures of.

Hope you enjoy the sights of the Day of the Dead.

Halloween Advent Calendar

When I was a child, my favorite grandmother would give my sister and I an advent calendar each December 1st. You remember advent calendars? All the December dates leading up to Christmas day on a piece of cardboard. Each date was either a door or little window that had a surprise behind it. It was usually a small toy or candy.

So a few years ago I decided to make an advent calendar for the days leading up to Winter Solstice. Hey, I am a Wiccan. Not that I do not celebrate Christmas. If you want to see the Winter Solstice advent calendar it is in the artwork section of this blog.

Well...now I have created an advent calendar for Halloween. Each day I will post a new "door" as the days lead up to Halloween. I am a total dope and forgot to post October 1st last night so you will get a double door day on this post.

Recent Summer Artwork

During last week's horrible week long heat wave in Southern California, I managed to work on some new digital artwork between all the heat advisories I haven't posted in a while. Next month I think I am going to create an "advent calendar" for Halloween. Maybe post a new pick for all the days leading up to Halloween.

And of course...who can forget
Silver Shamrock.
