Potter's Field on Thanksgiving

[DRabbit]

I discovered this cemetery recently (online) and knew I wanted to visit it today. It is very close to my in-law's house which is where we were spending our Thanksgiving day.

This is a county cemetery. A Potter's Field, where those who go unclaimed or who remain unnamed are buried. Markers are simply a small cement headstone with a number.

It made me feel sad, but appreciative. On such a significant day, we should all be thankful for the people who love us. No matter how small or big that group, we are lucky to have someone.

I'm just a little more thankful for my friends and family today because of #38 and all the others in Potter's Field.

I like that first shot very much.

At least the county, which ever one it is, didn't treat them like garbage.
Nice images and thought.

Amy, these are both great shots with heavy mood and complex emotional charge.
