Lambs, and a song

Thanks to a very detailed county map at our hotel in Eureka, California, we wandered to Ferndale one day. Among other lovely things we saw in Ferndale was a particularly lovely cemetery. The flowers seem on the verge of taking over this child’s grave, with its request to feed the lambs.

And, now, because I haven’t posted a link to an only-marginally-related-to-the-topic-at-hand song in a while, here’s a Jenny Scheinman song that mentions Ferndale.

I don’t go many days without a cemetery photo, do I?

I like the way the two crucifix-adorned crosses frame up the little statue of a saint.

This solitary iron knob is the opposite of these fences, even though they are cemetery neighbors.
