Comment from Lynda Joyce
I really love your notes! This is so beautiful, I love what it "says" so much. Great colors, great texture in the tree, great shortened dof and I love that little teddy bear left to comfort those children and babies. I have one of those little angels myself, so this really spoke to me!

Thanks very much Lynda, it was quite moving seeing the little fellow sitting there with the grass starting to cover him.

Thanks so much, they were very crumbly headstones having to cope with some harsh weather conditions.

Comment from Geokat
Given the age of this cemetery, clearly someone else other than your husband likes to wander around old cemeteries. A very nice find, and a wonderful photograph. Excellent detail and lighting with a very sharp focus.

that is really a sad pic mary, it reminded me by what happened recently in the Philippines. love the color saturation and wish it was more cropped (bright left are). it is a great shot with excellent details, beny ")

Thanks Beny - I left it uncropped because of the broken headstone, just thought the Teddy was left to keep the little one company very sad.
