However, I did go on a photo outing with my friend, Barb, to Spring Grove Cemetery.
Oh.My.Goodness!
I have no idea how many acres this cemetery covers but it is huge and beautiful. Think of a wonderful lovely park with ponds and stone bridges and beautiful plants and flowers in bloom... that just happens to have a few dead people buried around under your feet.
Here are just a few of the photos I took that day. I'm still editing them, but I'll post more later.

I love what your pictures are becoming! It is so much more than following prompts, but awakening your eyes to what lies beyond the camera lens. BTW, Hawaii was great :/)
ReplyDeleteBetsy, I enjoyed seeing your pictures of the cemetery. It is a lovely place to visit. I have a great, great, great grandmother buried there. She was born on the Dominican Republic island (after her family left France during the revolution) then family fled the Haitian revolution and went to the New Orleans area. She sent her daughter to Brown County, Ohio to study with the Ursuline Nuns. The daughter married a Kentucky country boy and the mother came to this area later in life. I also have cousins on my father's side buried there. They had lived in the Mt. Adams area of the city. Anxious to go back so thanks for the pictures. I love telling that story !!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you for sharing it with me! What a tumultuous time and place your GGG Grandmother lived in!
