Sugar Skulls are significant and rich in symbolism during DÃas De Los Muertos celebrations. This piece was made to honor my niece who lost her battle with cancer at the age of 19.

She brought joy to everyone she met and we should celebrate our loved ones lost.

I consider myself a wildlife and a nature photographer. I am also a naturalist who is helping with conservation. I have an active butterfly garden in my backyard. One of the many species is a gulf, fritillary butterfly among queens and monarchs and swallowtails the gulf fritillary‘s host plant is passion vine. The flowers are stunning, purple passion. This is one of the flowers I get to see every summer.
