Post your Cemetery Shots!

[Dawg Pics]

When we went to San Francisco earlier this year, we were traveling around just sight seeing since it had been raining. We were going down a road, and I noticed a huge cemetery. Then, further down the road there were 2 more huge cemeteries. I remarked that there were a lot of cemeteries close together, then my husband said he saw a pet cemetery as well. I made him turn around so I could investigate both the pet cemetery and one of the people ones. I was curious about the pet cemetery's history since some of the graves dated back a good while, so I looked it up and found this great article about Colma, Ca. It really is the city of the dead. The "Pet's Rest" cemetery has Tina Turner's dog in it.

I think, in my case, it would be more appropriate to have a cat sleeping up against MY gravestone!

Awesome Ted..........Angel of Death. Curious as to the ring/no ring at its neck in the photos?

The ring was originally at his feet, but I moved it to try and preserve it a little longer from being pilfered.

That is quite the cemetery! All of that artwork and a mammoth dry dam? Freaky. Yes, I read up on it.
There is a boat-load of geocaches hidden in there, as well.

I have two gold stars marked on Google Maps for that area. Dave's Cosmic Subs, just down the road; and Loganberry Books, where I hope to go someday and meet their cats!
