February-25th.jpg

I'm adding to my little gallery today because
I made an interesting discovery in the photos when I downloaded and examined them.
I was snapping inscriptions, and one of a mother born on my birthday (today),
over a century earlier, caught my eye.
Then on the opposite side of the cemetery,
facing in the opposite direction,
I photographed a marker of 2 brothers who had died together,
not noticing the names. As I studied them last night,
I saw that she was their mother but, they died long before she did.
It touched my heart; there are stories to be discovered even in cemeteries.
I will post their grave stone tomorrow.

There is much to see and photograph in the graveyards and on the tombstones, and many moving stories to be found in the inscriptions! Happy birthday cat!

Wonderful shot Cat. I love pictures of old tombstones. I have a couple of cemeteries completely cataloged in my galleries. Cemeteries are so much fun to haunt. LOL

Beautiful and touching image. Very interesting.
You are right, graveyards tell great stories. I like these places, too, welcome to visit my gallery "Memory in stone" which I am still adding to.
Regards
Jola
