Macro Monday - Godwin Cemetery


These little berries and rusty barbed wire caught my eye while walking along the pathway of Godwin Cemetery in Fincastle on an unseasonably warm winter day. A beautiful place for a walk. This cemetery sits right alongside of the Methodist Church in yesterday's post.

I should grab a few names for Find A Grave the next time I go. That's the genealogist in me :)

Got freezing rain last night and schools were delayed 2 hours when I went to bed. Just got a call that they are closed. Worked out to be a nice 4 day weekend! It's pretty icy out. The buses would be out on the roads right now so good call.

  14. Not only did I use the Nifty Buttons link to make me a Pinterest link on my blog, I just Followed you on Pinterest! You have a lot of great stuff! I'm relatively new. I am also into genealogy, and Godwins are in my line, so this was a neat post to see. Love the berries and barbed wire. A lovely shot!

  16. Hallo Tanya,
    thank you for your comment in the gras-gefluester.blog.

    It is said about the germans, some people believe a fact only then, when they see it written black on white. The german word SCHNEE on my photo means in english SNOW. In my photo, the word snow on black background is written like a newspaper with the black letters on white paper. ;-)
