June Theme Day, The Beauty of Decay

It's June Theme Day at City Daily Photo Blogs,

 and we are posting pictures of "The Beauty of Decay."

This tarnished cemetery monument of a young child in repose

 is a touching reminder of how fleeting life can be.

ABC Wednesday, O is for Old Live Oak Cemetery

ABC Wednesday is featuring the letter "O," and oh my, once again I see an opportunity

 to post a photo of Old Live Oak Cemetery!

We call it Old Live Oak, because there is also a New Live Oak Cemetery.

 The old cemetery is home to numerous outstanding monuments and billowing sheets

 of Spanish Moss. It is just optimum for snapping pictures, too!

October Theme Day - Cemeteries/Tombstones

This angelic monument is perhaps the most ornate and exquisite of the many memorials in Selma's Old Live Oak Cemetery. It is located within a fenced family plot where other unique tombstones reside. The cemetery, with its live oak trees, Spanish Moss, azaleas and dogwoods, is more than a burial ground. It is also a flowering garden and outdoor museum. Later this month, it will be the scene of a haunted history tour. Yes, ghosts who live here will rise again to tell their tales.

Don't forget to visit other tombstones and cemeteries around the City Daily Photo Blog world! I can hear them summoning you now... better get going!
