Sunday morning walking turned into taking a lovely 7 mile ride out to and around two local cemeteries, Hillcrest Abby East and Catholic Cemetery (sometimes called Cathedral Cemetery). It was a beautiful morning and I was enjoying riding so much I hadn’t planned to take any pictures.
We discovered that there was a road joining the two cemeteries together near the back of Catholic Cemetery. Following the road back to its end this is what I saw.
This individual memorial set in honor of a man buried here long ago. Rose bushes yielded red blooms for the living who stopped, drawn here, invited here, like us. It was like Easter morning had come back. The cross against all the dense green trees and blue sky gave a sense awe, beauty and surprise! Finding Christ on Sunday morning before our online church service was a very nice surprise indeed!
Disney Cruise September 2018. We made port in Nassau, Bahamas. Of corse Neal and I had to see the historic sites. Destination: Queen’s Staircase.
Such a breath taking site!
The Queen’s Staircase, commonly referred to as the 66 steps, is a major landmark that is located in the Fort Fincastle Historic Complex in Nassau. We were told it had been dug out of solid limestone rock by 600 slaves between 1793 and 1794 and that it provided a direct route from Fort Fincastle to Nassau City.
We were given a reputable guide who took a group of us “tourists” to a market place located at Fort Fincastle, then we toured the Fort and walled to the hidden staircase.
Ida Cason Callaway Memorial Chapel, Callaway Resorts and Gardens, Pine Mountain, Georgia. A beautiful stone chapel on a magnificent lake allows for times of reflective thought or thoughts about the reflections of sky and woods on the silvery lake surface. Tucked away in the mountains of Georgia, you have to escape life to find this peaceful escape from everyday life.
