This would be me...in the city garden along the bike path...filling a bag with gold, marigold
They'll be dug up soon...better to savor the JOY of them in my Day of the Dead altar.
More gold in them thar hills from a hike a couple of weekends ago.
Savoring the fall color after a trip to the southeast where it was hot/humid and wet!!
Go here to find more JOY?






so many of us are gathering all our precious materials for our beloved dia de los muertos altars. thank you for the honor of sharing the hosting of dia de bloglandia this year.
i am so thrilled at all the peeks and stories shared each sunday for the art of remembering.
enthusiasm is growing...like your lovely light of gold!

No marigolds to gather in my garden. I'll have to keep a look out.

I can't wait to see your finished altar shots - how exciting that it will have fresh marigolds. Good thinking!

Gorgeous gold, Stephanie ! I gathered the last of my marigolds this week - not enough to fill an altar or make a lovely necklace but enough to fill a little vase and enjoy their scent...and the memories they evoke.
Thanks for the golden joy !

the gold
marigolds - here
are somehow scarce
in this golden time
love the idea
of bags - full
over flowing with marigolds...

More Colorado color to savor...here in California, we're still waiting for fall. It's still in the 80s during the day and I am waiting for a cold snap so the Chinese pistache turn a bright red. Beautiful pics, Stephanie.
