LOVE Cemeteries

I've expressed my love of old cemeteries on the blog before. I find them peaceful and beautiful and I love reading the stones and imagining those who once lived in this area. I've also always been drawn to infant graves and now I feel even more deeply connected when I spend time walking through these historical sites.

The Black's cemetery is well maintained in a little hideaway on Talbot Line.




We continued down the road to the Love Cemetery. This cemetery is surrounded by forests and although that makes for a nice location, some of the trees are starting to encroach on the older graves. This really bothers me- I'm not sure why I take it personally, I guess it's just because I respect the area so much.

    Wow! That first photo of the trees surrounding the grave is so cool! And scary kind of haha. What a cute cemetery name, Love Cemetery. That's a sweet little poem on the gravestone at Black's Cemetery.

    Great photos but so strange to see the trees right beside that one gravestone.
