I thought I had missed the Dia de Muertos celebration at the Desert Botanical Garden but discovered it was this last weekend instead of the rainy weekend before. I decided I should go on Saturday evening. I knew it would be busy but had no idea just how busy. There were signs along the drive that parking lot was full and that is one huge parking lot.
In spite of that I was able to find good spot to park so I could enjoy some of the festivities.
Above is the annual "ofrenda" or offering altar. I waited quite a while to catch a clear shot.
There were colored light shining on all the cacti and plants all over the garden.
I liked how this tree was dripping with lights.
There were lots of people in costumes and face paintings but this lady was especially lovely. I asked if she would pose for me and she agreed. I love the gorgeous head piece she's wearing.
