reality calls
I mentioned the other day that I’d visited a cemetery that had what appeared to be the world’s largest sticker farm.
This is that cemetery. I made it all the day to the far side (which wasn’t that far – it was a very small place) by walking on the concrete curbs around the graves. It was barely worth the trip because I couldn’t get good angles on the place without getting closer than I wanted to be to all the stickers. The consolation prize is this: a dead flower head and a couple of markers and some bokeh.

when the weeds take over
It took two tries to find the country cemetery. The first try took us through a little loop that looked as sketchy as anything I’ve seen in sketchy towns, so while we could see the cemetery from where we were and it was theoretically possible to walk over to it, we noped our way out of that particular plan.
And then, we did find the cemetery, and it was home to the world’s largest sticker farm so my usual aimless wandering was not exactly workable.
As a sort of consolation plan, we stopped by this abandoned tractor and I was able to take as many as three sticker-free steps and get the shot. Finally! A win!
