Yep, tombstone trotting again.
Little treasures like these are why I stomp around old cemeteries.
Times were rough on grown folks too.

KILLED BY INDIANS and the dubious honor of being the first to be planted.

One for Hirlau, I have yet to kill all the bugs, PLENTY of seed stock left. All those little dark spots are grasshoppers waiting to be smashed.

So I am in France - Normandy in particular, for the 60 anniversary of D-Day. I was roaming the Cemeteries when I came upon this one marker that stated something about here rests the last remaining male of the (insert name) family. It was kind of touching, so I took a photo.

It was too weird as when I got back home and my mother in law saw that photo… she almost burst into tears – she knew the family. It was quite moving. I can't seem to find the photo right now, but I’ll try. In the mean time on that same trip to France I also got a shot of the Lizard Kings headstone.

Cool sunset on the way home from work!

Looks nice. Reminds me of the one and only pub that's left in my home village. Sort of a wild west sometimes :beer1:
