...the sky was literally unmarred this day...
I took a shot of grave in an unmarked place in rural Florida. There are other stones. The sun was bright, and the mottled light through the trees made it difficult for an amateur like me to account for the lighting.
The stone is pretty weathered, but someone wishing to impart some dignity had scratched something in. It's a little hard to make out, even with blowing up the photo and tweaking the contrast.
Under the cross, I think it says:
A. B. JAERPIEL (not too sure about that)
DIED MAY 1939
SLEEP ON
It looks pretty crude, but I'd like knowing that someone cared enough to spend time scratching into stone to memorialize me.

I have to share another few that I took in Times Square. As you can tell, things inspire me more than people, but I thought these were decent people shots. (And they look better in black and white.)
The second shot of two. In the first one (not shown), the girl in the skirt was scampering off the grate after getting an air blast from below. In this one, she's returned to her group. I just liked the differing expressions in this one.
A limo bike driver. Perhaps he's a little weary of the tourists.

...crude, yet very beautiful...
ohmygosh, all y'all are awesome photographers! Y'all have taken some beautiful and interesting photos! I've just filled up everyone's alerts with Likes lol
They look like spider lilies. I have a few - they pop up suddenly and last for only a few days
I tried to upload a photo and couldn't either. I know the photo is ok as I'd posted it to Brian's Daily X one day so I don't know
These are all beautiful shots. Very talented all of you!
I hate to go to the graveyard on Memorial Day and see graves that have no flowers because there is no one left. It hurts my heart.

This is beautiful
Looks like a Gathering of Ents! Beautiful.
St. Augustine, outside of Jacksonville, Florida. The oldest continuous settlement in the U.S, established by Spain prior to Jamestown. The walls are crushed shells. Instead of being chipped away by the British cannonballs, the walls simply absorbed them.
Just a black-and-white shot of the Bay Bridge (not the Golden Gate) at night outside of San Francisco. Taken from Treasure Island.
In Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. In this area, the geothermals can shift, and where plants once bloomed suddenly becomes a hot, steaming, sulfuric, alien-looking landscape.
This picture is so peaceful. I absolutely love it. Would love to have seen this in person...
We took Grandma's brother from Illinois up to Rocky Mountain National Park. We were telling him to watch for wildlife, but that it was really hit-or-miss. Sometimes we'd see a deer or some elk, probably not, and forget about the bighorn sheep.
We came around a curve, and I think it was the road that branches off to the old ski lifts. There were the elk, and the mist was hanging over the meadow. We had to stop and get out, and of course, I snapped some shots. The one you like was my favorite of the bunch.
Later on, then, we're driving out of the park, and there was a band of bighorn just up the slope, in plain view. We stopped again and told my brother-in-law that he'd hit the wildlife jackpot. I mean, we live here and had never seen them come out and pose like that before.
...love em all, but that last one really "speaks" to me...
Its all in the eye, isn't it? Y'all really see the world in its true beauty. Thanks for sharing.
A baby pigeon in case you've never seen one. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
One more time for you car geeks. From the Old Town Car Show.
For you Chevy fans, an old Corvette.
For you Mustang fans like Claire and my daughter:
And now NOT at the car show, for you Dodge fans, this is the car that the rental company upgraded us to when Grandma and I drove from Seattle to Vancouver (the Canadian guy at the border loved this one):
