I think the Lexington Cemetery is one of the most beautiful and peaceful spots I know of, and at this time of year it is nothing less than spectacular. We always make sure to visit when the weeping cherries are in bloom. Many of the trees are well over 100 years old and they are gorgeous.
I love the pink against the brilliant blue of the sky.
The tulips had begun to make an appearance. I'm afraid my little point and shoot camera kind of fails me on these close up shots.
and I was happy to see that the daffodils are still in full bloom
I think the geese were enjoying the day just as much as we were.
They seemed to have have picked the perfect spot
safe and secluded
I know that I love sitting under these beautiful trees looking up at the sky.
I visit the cemetery pretty often, because it is where I go to visit with my dad and many other of my relatives. I always feel a sense of peace when I leave. They have the most amazing old headstones there. I think one day soon I am going to take my camera and see if I can get some decent shots of those.
I hope your weather is as beautiful as ours is. We are definitely getting spoiled with all of the summer like temperatures.
Absolutely stunning! It is still cold up here in the north. You are sounding so happy... I'm glad for you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and such a gorgeous spot! We have been enjoying wonderful weather too but now it's supposed to rain all week (although we could use the rain too). I am fascinated by old headstones. Like you said, some of them are amazing....like little works of art. I have done a lot of genealogy over the years and have spent my fair share of time taking photos of ancestor's headstones.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

Laura this is such a pretty place! I can see how peaceful it is. Love the photos of the trees against that blue sky. I'm hoping for a little rain to clear the air of some pollen! Hugs, Linda
