Wide Angle Lens Fun

This picture was taken in Richmond Cemetery near the Flynn's Lick community of Jackson County.

This picture was taken on June 3rd in a cemetery
somewhere between the Granville and Flynn's Lick
communities in Middle Tennessee. Someone colored
a chalk image on the front of an old headstone in the
cemetery. It was kind of creepy.

Death is nothing else but going home to God, the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity. ~ Mother Teresa

Sunday afternoon me and Terry took a drive down to Rob Draper
Memorial Cemetary in Gainesboro, TN where my parents are buried.
My mom passed away 5 weeks ago and the monument company went
down on Saturday to finish the engraving on the headstone. We also
took a little cherub to place on the headstone as well. It was given to
my mom when my brother Rob passed away 4 years ago. I miss them
so very much and not a day goes by that they are not in my thoughts.

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Bare tree at night.

I hauled my camera and tripod down to the cemetary behind
our house the other night and took these shots with the
astrophotography settings. This kind of photography is
addicting :0)


Pretty, yet kind of creepy! The temperature was in the low 30's
and by the time I got back up to the house, my fingers and toes
were numb :0) Was worth it to get these pictures.

I took these photos in and around a country church yard.

I love the blue shadows of the headstones on the snow.




Looking toward our back yard from the
cemetary.

Terry and I ventured out into the snow to get some pictures.
We walked around the house, down in the cemetary adjacent
to our backyard and up the street. It was very icy and I was
afraid of falling and busting not only my derriere, but my
camera as well.


The cemetary, which is always a peaceful place to walk was
even more serene with the snowfall. Here's Terry looking at
something in the snow. Not sure what it was.


We don't get this kind of snowfall in Tennessee much anymore,
so you savor every moment of it. This picture was taken from
the cemetary walking back up the hill toward our house. Love
the sunburst and the shadows on the snow.

Random Snow Scenes

I took tons of photos during our recent snowfall. Here
are a few scenes around my backyard.
