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.

That's a wonderful macro shot, Tanya!
ReplyDeleteFrame it!
ReplyDeleteGreat close up, the berries really add a splash of colour to the rusty old wire!
ReplyDeleteYou have a fantastic eye! Love the contrast and juxtaposition of the two!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Tanya. I especially liked the color of the berries (?) alongside the color of the rust on the barbed wire.
ReplyDeleteI love old cemeteries- so peaceful and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

Great blog too!
Love to explore old cemeteries...so many stories to invent.And to find berries in January is wonderful.Spring is not too far away.
ReplyDeleteYou will find some Firebaughs in that cemetery. Nice photo.
ReplyDeleteNot 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!
ReplyDeleteIt's cold and icy here too! Hope you can keep your kids entertained. :) Nice macro!
ReplyDeleteHallo Tanya,
ReplyDeletethank 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. ;-)

ReplyDeleteStunning and so artistic at the same time. (Take care on that ice!)
ReplyDeleteI love this shot! So cool with the berries on the barbed wire.

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like they did the right thing cancelling school.
Beautiful closeup of the berries and barbed wire.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice when you can find a bit of color in a bleak landscape. Hope your ice melts soon!
