Late Bloomers

Good morning,

As much as I love the colors of Fall, I always hate to see the flowers go during the winter.
These are some late bloomers that jumped into my camera.  ;)

Enjoy,
Lois

Reflections on the Lake

Good morning,

This beautiful reflective lake is in another part of Spring Grove Cemetery as we continue our tour - see previous days posts.
If you look carefully, you can see a lady at the left side of the lake.  She is photographing a young lady sitting at the edge of the water.
We waited for the two ladies to leave so we could take some pictures of this gorgeous spot.
Such a beautiful place. 
So peaceful.
I walked up the hill beside the lake to get another view.  There on the left you can see that handsome man who appears in so many of my images.  He has set up his tripod to take pictures of all of the color reflecting in the lake.
 Here is my version of that view.

Enjoy,
Lois

Holly in the Sun

Good morning,

This beautiful holly would be a great image for a Christmas card. 

I took this picture at Spring Grove Cemetery in October.

Enjoy,

Spring Grove Cemetery Fall Color is for the Living, Too.

Good morning,

Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati is a place for the living, too.
While My Honey and I were there taking pictures, we saw many others there not only with cameras, but just enjoying the beautiful weather and surroundings.
Afternoon sun through the trees.  Wow.
We saw many walkers and joggers. 
 What beautiful color!

 Enjoy,
Lois

Fleischmann Memorial - Spring Grove Cemetery

Good morning,

These are more images from Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati, Ohio.
This is the Fleischmann Memorial.  You may recognize the name if you use Fleischmann's Dry Yeast or Fleischmann's Margarine.
Peering inside, I can see beautiful leaded glass.
Outside the scenery is gorgeous.

 What a beautiful place.

All the best,
Lois

Cypress Grove - Spring Grove Cemetery

Good morning,

I took these images last year about this time at Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati.
This is the Cypress Grove and is one of the most beautifully serene places I can imagine.
I remember seeing similar cypress "knees" polished and for sale at roadside shops in the South when I was  a child. 
This is the grave of a Civil War Captain with the 11th Kentucky Calvary. 

Spring Grove Cemetery is the second largest cemetery in the United States.  It is second only to Arlington National Cemetery.

All the best,
Lois
