How beautiful to see spring rising, and the cemetery is so lovely and peaceful. Wonderful contrast between the end of one cycle and the beginning of another.

A peaceful photo essay, I liked the trees in full bloom.
To some cemetaries are a dismal place...a place for the dead, however your photo essay demonstrates how it can be serene, beautiful, and full of life. I enjoy cemetaries, especially the old ones. Great photos.
