Very comforting.<br /><br />Hubby and I like to visit the old cemetaries from time to time. We've never taken pictures, maybe next time we will. I'd love to be able to revisit these sites at the touch of a button.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Sheila (TCW)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10019997429120578160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-10485279153954002482010-06-07T08:01:36.517-05:002010-06-07T08:01:36.517-05:00Janie, I think anyone who saw your photos would co...Janie, I think anyone who saw your photos would consider it an honor that you photographed their loved ones' memorials. I enjoyed seeing this so much. You do such excellent work.<br /><br />I am in love with that last lamb. His face is so amazing and almost contemporary in appearance. Loved that.<br /><br />I also loved all the lovely formal ones. And I was just thinking how much it must have cost those families who really were still in a state of veritable penury after the War to create those Victorian monuments! <br /><br />Enjoyed seeing this very much...<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />SheilaThe Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-66164211424935046632010-06-06T21:51:25.986-05:002010-06-06T21:51:25.986-05:00These were beautiful.

The old ones in the South are full of a richness and history we do not find here in the west. Most of our cemeteries are well groomed with flat stones. It is the inscriptions and dates here that facinate me.<br />My granddaughters went with us to visit the old Hollywood Cemetary in Richmondwhich is very rich in history. Soon I hope to find time write a post sbout it. :)<br />~♥Beth at Auntieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01878533662208781834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-55259105767025843812010-06-06T21:42:20.847-05:002010-06-06T21:42:20.847-05:00I don't think it's weird or disrespectful ...I don't think it's weird or disrespectful at all, I love touring old cemeteries and hate that we missed these while in Vicksburg but you can only do so much.<br /><br />Funny that you posted this because I am planning on doing a post on one of our local cemeteries where Hank Williams is buried (right next to my mama's first child who was born before me) and that cemetery has many interesting "stories" to tell.<br /><br />Thanks for the music too, I loved it.<br /><br />JudyJudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083048394782111088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-75689621218967267192010-06-06T18:24:24.190-05:002010-06-06T18:24:24.190-05:00Have you ever heard "Stone" by Tracy Law...Have you ever heard "Stone" by Tracy Lawrence?

What does that say about the person who died and the ones who are left?<br />I have found as I have looked through old cemetaries, that sometimes the faces are so well done...and sometimes they are actually scary looking instead of being comforting! Sort of like that lamb in the last pic...scary eyes! :)<br />Very interesting post, my friend!Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699862913139313405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-79759573386152034752010-06-06T10:12:25.342-05:002010-06-06T10:12:25.342-05:00so beautifully and tastefully presented!
