I guess sometimes we feel we are not in control of our own actions. Otherwise I do understand the frustration over stock photos. The solution: Hire a photograph. Yes, know, no need to tell me...

Maybe you should visit Anita's? Sounds fascinating. Or maybe I should go visit there because it does sound fascinating. Plus Sharon's, but Sharon didn't give us as good of instructions to get there :) Thanks for all the comments!Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-49244201073599538652013-08-06T08:36:12.113-07:002013-08-06T08:36:12.113-07:00Recently, I did a walking tour in Richmond that to...Recently, I did a walking tour in Richmond that took us through Hollywood Cemetery. Who'd have thought it would be fun...the cemetery, that is. Actually, it's a tourist attraction and school kids go there for field trips. Some of its residents: Jefferson Davis, James Monroe, John Tyler, J.E.B. Stuart, George Pickett, etc. This IS the south, you know. :)<br /><br />I'll eventually go back for all the reasons you mentioned in this post about Lakeview Cemetery. You've planted a very different seed this week. :)<br /><br />Ps.

I never understood it, but now as I age, and have been to more cemetaries than I can remember, I can now understand. The photos of Lakeview Cemetary are wonderful. It's great to know you have access to all the beauty and that your visit there helped your project! Thanks for poppin' by and visiting my crazy sketch-a-day blog posts..I really appreciate your kind words, Linda!

Seems so strange to have a massive dam in the middle of all the trees and monuments.<br /><br />I was thinking about the sculptors and models when I was taking the photos, Rand. I know the monuments are for the rich people, but regular people made them. Some of the statues look like real people, and they do speak to me in a way. They're wonderful pieces of art, and I'm glad so many people come to appreciate them.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments everybody!Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-62521581836549783582013-08-04T19:12:07.522-07:002013-08-04T19:12:07.522-07:00Ugh, sorry to hear you're having blog troubles...Ugh, sorry to hear you're having blog troubles but I can totally empathize because I had issues today as well (with Wordpress).<br /><br />But the cemetery photos are beautiful.
