Guardian Angel


Another shot from my Faith theme, this Guardian Angel stirred up a number of thoughts.  In exploring this cemetery behind a small chapel, I was reminded how full of emotion these quiet places are.  The pain of loss, the comfort of memories, and the clear perspective they provide.  This white angel slept at a family site, a few feet away from fresh broken ground behind her.  How did you spend your day today?

I really like the photo and your description of the quiet places.

As for my day, I ran around too much but it ended beautifully as I was cuddling Na, my 6 year old, watching a kids Halloween movie before bed.

At work, thinking that life is too short to be cooped inside....sigh.
