I look like a ghost?
Ha! I’ve come to comfort you
and not to scare you.

To confront one’s fear might be scaring, but joy will follow…
A ghost with great style and panache, the details are beautiful!!
Panache! Oh, yes, she has panache all right! (Don’t you just love that word?)
ghosts not to scare,, a friendly ghost..
comfort indeed.
love knows no boundaries.
I am not afraid…beautiful Catrina…and that sugar skull…magnificent!
Very cute!
lovely! what fun.
I must confess…I covet that Katrina.
I’m not afraid either. I am beginning to see that there is a light after that tunnel. Love your Catrina. Wonderful.
What a nice display. You have done well.
Whoaah just don’t visit me in my dreams yello lady hehe
And because of celebrating Dios de los Muertos these past years I too have found such comfort in remembering my dearly departed ones. Death seems more like a passage than like “the end.” Thanks for sharing your beautiful photo and words.
Oh this will spook me ^_^ Happy Monday!
Collage of Roses
Nice display. Very colorful and interesting.
Nice display.
Adriana
We are often afraid of the things that love us most.
Your Day of the Dead figures are often seen in local altars. The biggest display is always at the Oakland Museum. The display in your photo looks like kind of altar-y too.
I agree with Nanka. Have a fabulous week.
Liz @ MLC
hey..it’s nice..(“,)..
Lovely ghost!
true to the halloween feel…My Third Eye
She actually looks pretty awesome but I wouldn’t want to see her in the dark all by myself…Christine
how sweet, I wish all ghosts behave like this.
