Levi Keim at CVPS and the First Flower of Spring

Levi Keim, from Beach City, Ohio, gave a wonderful presentation of his film work from out west and Ohio. Really stunning shots of water droplets, star trails and the western landscape. Imagine taking a photo and having no idea what it looked like until you came home and developed it.

Since it was a lovely day, I took the camera out. There's a short loop trail next to Happy Days conference center, so that's what I took, and ended up in Mater Dolorosa cemetery. These shots are from the cemetery. It's peaceful, and only slightly melacholy.

I think this is a winter aconite - it was right at the opening into the cemetery.

Patrick and Magaret Cassidy's plot at Mater Dolorosa. They died a month apart in 1885, at 84 and 79 years of age. Sweet and sad.
