The Santa Cruz Cemetery
I know a lot of people freak out thinking of a cemetery. I guess it is all the horror movies that abound today and the ridiculous idea that there are zombies. In fact, cemeteries are often some of the most beautiful parks that a city has. This is a blog I wrote back in the fall. I still visit the cemetery every other week. It is a beautiful place.When I was in college I dated a girl who told me she likes to take pictures of cemeteries. I thought that was strange, until I went with her one Saturday afternoon. We visited several of the small cemeteries in the Duncanville and Cedar Hill area. They were simple places, mostly grass and tombstones. But there were patches of flowers, lovingly planed there by families, or a bouquet left on a grave. Sometimes you’d see pictures or flags. It wasn’t scary at all.
