St. James Cemetary - South of Avon
The year slowly meanders its way to All Hallows Eve many of us have or will take the time to remember those who have passed before us. There are many traditions that some use to honor this time and ritual. Some set an extra place for those gone before at the table on the eve of October 31st. Some hold a special time of rememberance and place pictures and other items that resemble their loved ones.
Myself I enjoy visiting the cemetary. I have always been amazed at the stories behind each headstone marker. Although I do frequent my family and friends on occasion it is this time of year when I just go visiting. There have been some over the years that I have grown attached to and wonder about the story behind them. Jackie Moon and the children that surround her is a good example of this.

Yet today I am keeping with my love for the beautiful art that can be found as one walks through so many cemetaries. I would like to share some photos of some of my favorites. I have not visited each one yet their beauty is amazing.

There is a peace that comes to one when they stroll through a cemetary.

I am sure that there are places where a restless soul may reside and the aura may not be as settled as most.

The love can be seen in many of the monuments that have been placed in honor of those passed.

Such detail put into some as if to place a watcher next to their loved one for safe keeping.

This week take a few moments to remember those who have passed before us. Reflect on the gifts they gave you as well as the ones they still give. And if you have some free time on a beautiful October day, consider taking a stroll through your nearest cemetary. You may be surprised what inspiration you might receive.
Blessings
