Senior ’66

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.

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…
