A couple of things here

First of all, it may come in handy to know that you can apparently get a handful of cemetery flowers for a dollar.

Second, this should quiet, forever, those doubters who say that cats do not go to heaven. Obviously they do: why else would this cat have angel wings?

Angel, grounded

And here’s a cemetery angel, helpfully illustrating “dust to dust” for anyone who happens by.

Garden Helix

Here’s the last photo from my trip to the garden center the other day. It’s a short series because I didn’t really get the sorts of images I had in my head, which surely says a lot more about the contents of my head than it does of the contents of the garden center.

Spike

This is what happens when my camera and I are left unattended at the garden center: I take lots of random pictures. I figured if any employee challenged me, I’d just say I was taking pictures to give to my landscape designer. That sounds kind of plausible, I think. No one bothered me, though; I think they were busy waiting on actual customers or something.

Burnt

Start here, with this long article about the fire. I’ll wait.

This part is relevant to the photo:

Her truck stopped on the Rue du Cloître Notre-Dame, a narrow street that runs on one side of the cathedral. The building was so gigantic, she couldn’t see where the fire was spreading anymore.

“We were so small that it was hard to get a proper idea from the bottom of the cathedral,” she said. “But it might have been better like that.”

We were standing on Rue du Cloître Notre-Dame when I made this image. It’s hard to look at the photo now, especially after reading the article.
