For whatever reason, I had been so looking forward to Nashville since I first found out about it. I felt if I could get out of town and get some distance even if only a couple hundred miles I could find myself again. I could forget about family drama, work drama, personal drama and that is exactly what happened. I didn't spend money at the nice mall, go to exotic museums or meet the famous people, that were alive. I grabbed my camera and plotted my course for the nearest and dearest cemetery and thought about nothing but photography. If only for a few days I chose to forget and spend time thinking about good things.
Since I had never been to this cemetery and I was not expecting it to be this great I decided to only photograph things I had never seen before. This is one of the most moving and saddest monuments I have ever seen. The expressions and movements of the children are so lifelike it was scarily touching. This was on the stone below.John Burch 09-03-1881 - 09-22-1886

The gardner asked, "who plucked these flower?" The answer was, "the master." And the gardner held his peace.
