the mourners

 

The next time you go to Santa Fe, do yourself a huge favor and go the Museum of International Folk Art. Plan on spending a few hours there and also plan to be amazed at all the things you’ll see.

And, if you’re thirsty afterward, go to the little cafe across the courtyard. It was great (especially the hibiscus tea) because on the way to our table, the host introduced us to all the dogs that had brought their people out for the day.

the happiest

I saw a lot of people that day that looked as though they were having the best time: in fact, nearly everyone looked that way.

But there was something about this couple dancing that kept my attention for a while. I love his smile and the way his face crinkles around his eyes – it makes me think he smiles a lot. But more than that is his very light touch on his partner’s arm. While it seems like a simple gesture, it tells their whole story.

And that’s why I think these two are the happiest people I saw that day.

it was a day for wearing lace

 

Really, any day can be the right day to wear lace. There’s no reason to think it’s just for whatever events may require it. And look! You can definitely pair it with purple hair and black lipstick and some complicated eyeliner and spend your day looking so fabulous.

phantom

 

This dancer was popular with the crowd, who cheered them on during the performance.

Also: those tattoos! And that beard!

How much fun were these dancers having?

They were having all the fun possible to have.
