Cemeteries: People are Just Dying to Get In

The fence around a cemetery is foolish, for those inside can't get out and those outside don't want to get in. ~ Arthur Brisbane


Frank and I took a short day trip a few weeks back, and found ourselves wandering through an old cemetery, proving the above quote at least partially untrue.


lovely trees on guard
The first thing to catch my eye was the row of lovely trees running parallel to the fence. Beautiful old sentinels for the departed.




graveyard
Many of the gravestones were touching to read. There were far too many children buried there.




war is hell
And soldiers.




water pump
There were some unusual items of interest to catch the eye, here and there.




towering tree
And that tree was mighty impressive up close and personal.




beauty
My attention quickly shifted to this beauty who was watching me from the other side of the fence. I was surprised and delighted by this lovely creature.




N-pretty tulip
It was a bit of an unusual way to spend the day, though I know through your blogs, that many of you also enjoy strolling through cemeteries. Thanks for sharing in my day.

More photos in a few days.
