This cemetary is way back on a ridge in Putnam County, near Hurricane. It helps to have 4 wheel drive to get there.
I love looking at the very old monuments.
Shooting bees is kinda scary... I can't believe I caught this one in flight. In the bright sunlight the tiny Pentax camera will muster a 1/2000sec shutter speed.
This is me doing a rubbing of a headstone. I'm doing it because we need to put a date on it so I'm going to do a "layout" and try to match the font.
Daisy in the barbed wire... this is trite. I did this exact same shot in high school at this same cemetary. I won some sort of art contest for students with it. I just re-created the shot for my own amusement.

The daisy on barbed wire may be trite, but it's still stunning to look at.
The way you can zoom in on one detail, enlarge it and present it in such stunning and vivid brilliance -- saturated color and texture so richly illustrated one can almost feel it -- reminds me of the moments of discovery in childhood; the first time I picked up a flower to examine the petals, or realize a bee looks thistled with fur upon close examination. I think we lose some of that wonder as we grow older; your work recaptures it.
I say what Sharon said, Rick, and that goes double! I love the daisy and the lady bug, and oh well, the petunias, and ........
The ladybug is stunning.
Just plain stunning. The ladybug on the granite. There's a message there about the temporal nature of all our monuments.
Beautiful photos.
