Mara's annual picture at the Cemetery
We've been taking her picture in the same place for 19 years now - at the mausoleum in Lexington Cemetery. The tree is still there, but they've moved the park bench that she used to sit on to somewhere else. The year after they moved it, I moved it back to take the picture and forgot to put it back. The next year it was chained the to other tree. I guess I'm a vandal. Other changes: they built the mausoleum out, encroaching on the space I used to set up my camera (I've since changed angles); and the field behind Mara in these pictures used to be an apple orchard (in city limits!) and is now more cemetery land. The thing that hasn't changed is the peacefulness of the place.
