Lonely soldiers



Totally opposite of the last entry.  Greenwood Cemetery is absolutely my favorite cemetery.  It's monuments show up all over my blog.  It has a the most amazing street signs.  You can stand on the corner of Peace and Love or Truth and Justice (which is my favorite) or Glory and Freedom.  There are good people, bad people, people you really don't want to talk about.  There is a section honoring Union Soldiers and one for Confederates.  There is even a veteran of the war of 1812.  I particularly am struck by the line of soldiers right behind the caretaker's building.  One row of white marble all with Confederate markers next to it just one row then a section completely unfilled.  They seem so lonely.  I never could figure out why they were separated from everyone else.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Slice of Life


After a hard day at school and 107 degree Texas heat there's only one way to cool off.  The sprinkler.

RAVEN


If you've been here before, you know my love of cemeteries and I've been a little obsessed with Edgar Allan Poe lately.  He was always one of my favorite poets, I've been writing a little more and it inspires me so when I came upon this at Oakwood Cemetery in Austin I couldn't help but snap this.  The Raven has always been one of my favorites.

Day 344: The Texas Star


Today we spent the day at the Texas State Fair.  Lots of fun, and calories, were had by all.
