New Orleans Cemetery Angels
We all know I have this huge infatuation with cemeteries and I was really anxious to check out the ones in New Orleans. I have a lot I want to share but I thought I would start with some of the angels and statues at various graves in two cemeteries.
The day was chilly and the rain kept spitting on us, but we didn't let that stop us. As you can see, there were young angels and old, but the faces all are so gentle.
I really liked finding the beads on Mary, although I'm wondering what she's been up to, lol.
