Images from a Danish graveyard

What wonderful pictures Randi! I love the squirrel. Ours don't have the furry tufts in their ears here. I always loved walking in cemeteries. They are so peaceful. :love:

KK, this guy is quite patient when he goes out with his camera. ;) I was not there the day he got that shot, but I'll ask him how long he had to stand there and just wait.

The squirrels we have here are different from the ones you have in the US - yours are mostly grey, aren't they? I never really noticed the tufts in the ears, not sure all of them have these.

Kokopup, I didn't know until recently that there are different kinds of Magnolia trees. The ones you have in the south are very impressive and so beautiful. I know that they are the State flower/tree in Mississippi and I've seen pictures of them from Willow Oak. The Dogwood trees are nice, too.

A pity you didn't make it to Denmark, I think you would have liked it! :)

This is one I shot last year, not half as good as the other one, but I love the tree.

Randi, the way this tree is growing reminds me of the Live Oak that grows in the coastal region of the southern US. This is a very impressive tree and one that would have attracted me as a kid because of it easy access for climbing.
A tree similarly shaped was my favorite as a kid. I built tree houses and ladders into the limbs all through this tree. It was a Mulberry tree that was cut down years later when I was grown. I heard the man that had the task of cutting the tree was cursing me with every cut. I had probably put 100 lbs of nails in that tree, over the years, and this managed to repeatedly dull his saw. :D

This is the Southern Live Oak Tree.

Wow, that tree is wonderful!! I would have loved to climb that, too - yes, I did climb trees when I was a child.

LOL! I can just imagine his cursing.

There are quite a few of these trees at the cemetary, but I don't know the name of them. They look quite spooky when it gets dark. I will see if I can find the name of them.

European red squirrels have always tufts in their ears- but you need an excellent shot like the one your friend took to see them so well.
I am sure that cemetery must be fantastic for squirrels :)

Thank you for sharing these amazing photes with us. Truly enjoyable and amazing.

Yes, thank you, Randi. The photographs are stunning, of what looks like such a peaceful place to visit.

Very nice pictures Randi. Peaceful.

Thanks for the memories, Randi. We all miss John. Hearts never really mend, they just keep on. I am sure he knows how much he was loved and wishes he hadn't left so early. You will meet again, someday. But until then, keep enjoying your loved ones and be happy, as you seem to be. Jonza was a great photographer, as I recall.

Yes, we all miss you Jonza! You were loved by many. :love::love::love::love:
