This dramatic gravestone photograph was from my recent outing to St. James at Sag Bridge cemetery. The stone is an intricately carved tree trunk that is amazingly lifelike. A recent visitor hung a green beaded rosary on one of the branches. When I walked around the stone, the cross was glinting in the bright sun. It was a photo opportunity not to pass up.
