Take a Word - Stone Angels

I've always loved the faces of cemetery stone angels.  They engender such a sense of serenity and peace.  Even the ones who are weeping or mourning offer a sense of solace.  I once knew a lady whose hobby was visiting cemeteries and photographing stone angels.  She had an album of incredibly beautiful photos which she shared with me.  That was many years ago, but I still remember the lovely scenes she'd captured.  I'm looking forward to seeing all the stone angels at Take-a-Word this week.
