Our neighborhood graveyard is a sadder place than usual right now. 

How beautifully leaves grow old.  How full of light and color are their last days.

The green grass and stone gray of graveyards has always been the most striking combination to me.  On film that contrast is a completely different story, and I’m still trying to decide if I like it.

Quick stop at a beautiful and overgrown graveyard, somewhere in New York on our way to Thousand Islands.

Another quiet, almost forgotten memorial in Richmond, Virginia.
