Jan. 21, 2017: Love, Peace and Solidarity March in La Manzanilla, Mexico

The march and demonstration in La Manzanilla, Mexico, the day after President Trump’s inauguration was by no means strictly a women’s march, as you will see by these photos.  Inspiring. No violence.  No anger.  Just statements of beliefs and expressions of unity. Men, women, children, Mexicans, Canadians, Americans.  A well-thought-out and positive speech, many hats, many signs, short four block march around the triangle. I love the people who live all or part of the year in this town.

Botanical Ears: Flower of the Day, Jan 21, 2017

 

Of the 271 solidarity marchers in La Manzanilla, Mexico, this day after the inauguration, this was my favorite pair of ears.  And since they are botanical, I think they qualify (sort of) for flower of the day.
