Pleasant Grove Cemetery

Ok.Full disclosure: I love walking around cemeteries. Ever since I went to the gorgeous Cemetiere du Pere Lachaise in Paris, I have been very intrigued by them. I just find them so peaceful and calm. The stillness of it all strikes me. In warm weather, there are flowers galore and nicely manicured greenery. The ones with famous people laying at rest have huge towering tombstones that look like houses. In contrast, your average cemetery will have a couple of tiny slabs with no names on them whatsoever.

Porta-potty a few feet away from a grave?! Don't seem right!

Juneteenth in Ithaca, NY 23.6.12

June 19th is the celebration of the day slaves in Texas got the news that the war was over and they were free. On this day you will find festivals and block parties bringing communities together for a day of fun. It has been shortened to 'Juneteenth' over the years. 

She was watching me the whole time.

They were damn good! Not gonna lie...I was skeptical at first.
