Calvary Cemetery, Seattle
On a Seattle fine day (read: overcast but no rain), we headed out to Calvary Cemetery just north of the University of Washington campus. Much of this cemetery is populated with ledger stones with a sparse population of headstones of any sort. But some of the few headstones are quite nice with interesting statuary included. This one has places for candles affixed to the pages of the book that small angel is reading from.

Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery Revisited
Today, we have a short visit to the Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery, a place we've been before back in 2018. Unlike the first visit, this one is all in monochrome. Going for the "art photography" look again.
The flower above is a rose from a casket spray that was left on the fresh grave of a new resident.

St Louis
When we visit a city, one of the first things we look for are the old, large cemeteries. We love seeing dead people. Since we only spent one evening in St. Louis, we planned to spend the following morning briefing exploring the large Bellefontaine and Calvary Cemeteries in town. These are adjacent to one another: Calvary is for the Catholics and Bellefontaine is for protestants.
