The joy of waking to this view each morning is just so wonderful. Even if the camera sees all the distortions from the window screen, I easily ignore them. Many of these green trees stand near or by the Animas River which flows through the town.

Wreaths for each grave

 I don't know if I have anyone I knew or am related to in this Veterans' Cemetery in Black Mountain NC. But I saw a photo of a convoy of semi trucks full of wreaths to be placed on veterans' graves. So I wanted to see them following my appointment across the street.







 I don't know why some graves have stones, and some have flat stones, and even some have little metal markers.


 But even the flat stone grave markers each had a wreath placed next to it.


 It's sobering to see so many men and women's graves who served in our military forces.

    ...we have a nearby Veterans Cemetery and they are lucky to be able to cut the grass, a nice reminder.

    It looks like a very peaceful place for a cemetery.
