I’m taking a risk here, but I’m writing this post as my farewell to winter. The photos on this particular post were taken Valentine’s Day weekend, when Cleveland experienced our first spring-like weather for 2011.
Goodbye to winter.
Goodbye to the soft stillness of being alone in the cemetery with only the occasional chittering of a squirrel for interruption, but goodbye also to monuments disappeared by snow.
Goodbye to monuments silhouetted against the striking contrast of winter-gray skies, but also goodbye to grave offerings buried in snow.
Goodbye to the sparkle of snow that turns ordinary surfaces to a glittering blanket but goodbye also to cold noses, cold toes, and windburned faces.
A Grave Concern
