maybe morbid


Evening at the Evergreen Cemetery with Melissa.


I like these flowers. Not only are they pretty, but they're all dead except for one! How appropriate.


We walked up this path to look at the graves.


I just like this shot.


Typical monument type grave.


Another monument, but I think this one is prettier.


Precarious steps up to more forgotten graves, perhaps.


This is a little disconcerting because it looks like a cradle. I love it!


I like the broken graves. It makes me sad in a super emo way.


Markings of the dead? Hahaha.


Someone left this person a little stuffed toy.


This was surrounding the stuffed toy grave. Maybe there was a chain there at one time?


This doesn't surprise me at all.


Melissa read this transcript of a testimony by someone whose rights were being infringed upon? (And other legal jargon.)


There it is.


Funny: look at the spelling here...


...then look at the spelling here. Someone somewhere messed up.


I don't know how this one is standing.


Someone being supportive and leaving encouraging notes.


It's over.


Treasure the end. (Thanks.)


Melissa.


She read this as "aged 5 years" and I read it as "aged 4 years." Then we realized it said "aged 54 years."


Aw. A baby tombstone.


We heart our dead!


A mausoleum I think.


Another one, with a pretty door.


I like greened things in general.


Look! The Americans are buried here!


I like how the pine needles makes it look like cuneiform writing.


Louden Nelson's grave was put back together. He was a benefactor to the community. And a colored man, so sez the tombstone.


Melissa speculates that either a baby or a pet was buried here. The only way to explain the small fence.


Respect for the dead...


This is a very small Chinese burial ground. There were only two graves that I saw.


I like leaves.


Dusty, dirty leaves.


Little, little babies died very close together. Tiny didn't even have a name.

They turned out so well! that's one amazing little camera.

I'm so happy to have found that little cemetary tucked away among the trees. It's really wonderful. Speaking of the dead, off I go to forensic anthropology! yay! (not sarcastic)
