Hanging Gardens!
A nursery in Ajijic hung marigolds from a massive tree at its entrance for Dia de los Muertos. Stunning!

Marigolds are seen in profusion on Day of the Day altars and graveyards. I snapped these at the Lake Chapala Society during a lull in the rain today.

I never did order one of these mocha drinks at La Rueda coffee shop. I couldn’t be trusted to know how good they were.
Do they look like luscious chocolates and macaroons? Wrong. They are sweet potato balls brought to a friend’s Thanksgiving feast…rolled in coconut or pecans and brown sugar. Yes, they were delicious!!!
This pancake breakfast ordered by a friend at Martha’s Cafe in Ajijic was as good as it looks. Proof below:
But, the shocker was that the oatmeal I ordered was just as good! I was too hungry to get a picture of it. Guess I’ll have to go back to prove it to you!!!
Happy Halloween! Zinnia.

Baby Sun Rose on Metate
I love these ancient grinding stones of Mexico and have about a dozen of them scattered through my garden. My plants crawl over them like jungle growth reclaiming the pyramids and other monuments of Mexico!

Xmas in October (Umbrella Plant and Bougainvillea)
The combination of the white and green star-shaped blooms on the umbrella plant combined with the red bougainvillea create a Xmas scene even before Halloween–which is echoed by the Xmas decorations already being displayed next to the Halloween costumes in Walmart in Ajijic. Holiday madness has made it even to Mexico. Sigh.
Spotted Iris with Visitor
I didn’t even see the visitor in this photo until I started cropping. Can you see it?

Sometimes we overdo it in editing and cropping and need to be brought back to our senses. Please tell me which view you prefer!
