Picture of the Day

For today, a picture I took of a lonely little grave...







Isn't it sad? There were a bunch more like it, probably from the 1800s. It makes me want to come up with a whole story- how did the baby die? Why didn't the family have the money to put its name on the tombstone? What was the baby's name? At the time I took the photo I was also doing some research on illegal immigration and learned about the cemeteries where unknown illegal immigrants are buried when they die attempting to cross the border...you can read more about them here.



Maybe not the happiest picture... but I will post a brighter one tomorrow :)
