road trip....










i went to 3 old country cemetaries on a geneology hunt with an old school friend and while she looked for her great grandparents i found these beautiful stones.... they are from my favorite style period....1860 to 1880...

i love the hands together.... so romantic....and also isnt the finger pointing up to heaven very nice?....we took my little grandson noah, and he ran around with his butterfly net.... hes into catch and release...
