Monday I had a precious time with my youngest sister. We packed sack lunches and sat upon a marble bench far, on the gentle hill where people come to honor those who have passed on. It is a quiet place, peaceful. One can feel undercurrents of joy, tragedy, love, remembering, grief, hope and relief..
I don't know why, but I've always been fascinated by cemeteries. After lunch, camera in hand, I went for a walk. It was a lovely sunny day. Clouds chased across the skies. I paused for a moment. How astonished I was to catch an angel's face reflected in the geometric shape of this window. She has the same face of the cloud angel I captured in the same vicinity a week ago, when a rainbow encircled the sun.
Above is the angel as I first saw her. She was only there for an instant.

I too find cemeteries to be places of peace, tranquility, beauty and contemplation. How jealous I am that you got to spend lunch with our lil' sis! And that you got to see the whimsical angel.
They are always so very peaceful aren't they? And a perfect day to see angels:) xxx
Sneaky little things. You really have to look.
Oh, she is beautiful! Not surprising that she frequents such a tranquil place...
