A Dead Tree

The other day, we came upon a cemetery that was new to me. It had a lovely view. But what interested me was this tombstone that was made to look like a tree trunk.

Beautiful cemetery and I have never seen that kind of tombstone before, so very interesting. Symbolic of something I would think, to the person who was laid to rest.

Oh my goodness, Ginny.... I absolutely LOVE that tree tombstone! It would surely get vandalized in our local cemetery tho, I'm sad to say. :-( I would love to be buried in a tiny little country cemetery... the kind that are practically in people's back yard. They always look so peaceful to me. This cemetery does too. Love, Andrea xoxo
