claws
This was in the old part of the graveyard, the part my friend Kim called “Creepytown.” I was glad we were there in the autumn: a summer view from this spot would be very different and less creepy. And way less of something I’d want to photograph.

88 years
Some very cold flowers on the grave of someone who lived for 88 years. (Just a few minutes before this, there’d be rain and sleet-that-was-nearly-hail.)

castle/graves
The St. Cuthbert’s Kirkyard is just down the hill from the Edinburgh Castle. I liked the kirkyard a lot more than I liked the castle, if I’m being honest.
You know I like to photograph cemeteries…

our darling
Goodness. Someone’s child, their darling, is buried here. I can’t imagine anything sadder.

boot heel
The grave marker way down at the end of the cemetery had a thick square wooden post and several cowboy boots hanging from it. This boot, which was in full sun every single afternoon that wasn’t cloudy, was much the worse for that level of sun exposure. I don’t guess I understood how many nails there are in a boot until I saw this one.
