Dia de los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is a traditional holiday celebrated in Mexico and other Latin American countries.  It is a day to remember and celebrate the lives of friends and family who have passed.  I photographed this little figurine at the Dia De Los Muertos celebration at the Desert Botanical Gardens.
