Cemetery Music

I visit cemeteries a lot; you might think that after all this time, they’d start to look the same or run together. Sometimes I think that’s about to happen, but then I see something like this, a metal marker in the shape of a guitar. And a sad story, too, since the young man who dreamed of a career as a professional actor as a professional actor passed away when he was only 20 years old.

Two other things – there was a cluster of tiny guitars in the hard ground behind the marker, and wasps were living inside the metal guitar.

It would be a challenging launch

When a lake’s only at 18% of capacity, the boat ramps and docks sometimes end up in a precarious position. In this case, the end of the ramp isn’t even near the water, making putting a boat in quite a challenge.

Church: 3/4 View

As you may recall, I am fond of looking around the backs of things, and that’s how I found this nice little propane tank hanging out behind the church.

Eventually the vine will win

Actually, it’s been three years since I made this photo so there’s a very good possibility that by now, the vine HAS won. You know how it is with vines…

13

My granddaughter, the fabulous Miss Hannah Harvey, turns 13 years old today. Yay!

A few weeks ago, she and I took ourselves on a Big Adventure, which included a stop at a coffee shop; a drive to Abernathy, Texas, to make some photos*; and a picnic lunch of fried rice. It was an excellent day. Among the many interesting things we spotted in Abernathy was this row of theater seats on a sidewalk. Hannah spotted the 13 right away, of course. (And don’t tell her, but part of her birthday present is a print of this photo.)

*Yes! She’s a photographer and even has a “real” camera, a starter-level Nikon.
