Picture taking in the Cemetery

The boys and I went to some of the local cemeteries to take pictures of some of the headstones today. Here are just a few that we thought were the best. This first one her finger is broke off, but she is still a very cute angel.
This one the harp has real metal tubes in it and Nate thought that it was great he could play music on it.
Not much to say about this one. Just cute
This one is in the old cemetery downtown. We think it is definetly the best.
The cemetery downtown has a lot of headstones that are broken and/or have fallen down. Some of the family plot areas have fences around them and they are falling down, are broken and rusty. There is a wooded area behing this cemetery and all along the tree line is nothing but trash. The boys picked up all the trash they saw as we walked through the cemetery. It is a little disappointing since this is the oldest cemetery in town and is right along the civil war route. The oldest headstone we found was dated 1766, you would think that something with that much history would be taken better care of.

Anyways I am going to take some of these pictures and make them into jewelry. So I will show you those when I get around to making them.
