Southern Cemeteries

Of course we stopped in a few cemeteries along our route. This one was a very interesting place, the only one on Tybee Island, Georgia.

I was inthralled with the palms as much as the cemetery, lol. I just love these huge trees!

I found all these numbered markers together intriguing - cremated remains?

Some very busy ants!

The third cemetery I'm sharing is in Florida, near Jacksonville, but it had so much Spanish Moss that I felt like I was still in Georgia. Isn't this trunk cool?!

  2. The last cemetery looks a little scary! I love the numbered round markers above that and the bark of the palm tree. I think I've never seen a cemetery with a palm tree. Obviously haven't been looking when in the south!

  3. Very cool. One of my "goals" is to see trees with spanish moss .... right now all I can see is a bunch of da*n wet snow!

  6. Love the tree trunk. Almost looks like an animal is poking his head out. I love cemeteries as well, looks like you found some gems.

  8. I really love the shot of the stone at the base of the tree. That's where I'd want mine to be I think. If I got to choose anywhere.
