Capturing the Cemetery
There’s a cemetery down a street that we really enjoy visiting. It’s old, picturesque, and has some great old trees. It’s very peaceful and relaxing to stroll around or just hang out under them. (Sidenote: we might accidentally be raising some “odd” kids who like cemeteries: often when we drive by one, they often exclaim …
