300/365 - Jim - Cemetery Statue

( f/8 70mm 1/250 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )
Today we went to Michael's to get some frames for the photos we recently printed. Afterwards we drove into the cemetery in Butler to see if there was anything interesting to photograph. The light was facing the wrong direction for most of the statues, but this one was facing opposite. The statue was probably around life size. It's pretty amazing how the make these. I don't know if it was just a form that was filled with concrete or chiseled that way. I don't think I know anyone with that elaborate of a tombstone.

238/365 - Jim - Memorial Day

( f/5.6 140mm 1/1000 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )
It is Memorial Day today so I thought I would try to observe it on my blog. I went to a local cemetery and got some photos of all the flags for the veterans. It is easy to take for granted the freedom that all these people fought to keep.
