okay I'm almost done with getting classes ready for monday...only today a student comes in and wants a directed study with me (which is okay except he wants a 3 hour one and these are usually 1 hour and he basically wants physiology but can't take it on tuesday...) I knew this. I thought he meant next semester. No, this one. You wait until now??? Sigh. If the head of the dept. will go for it, I will. It's no skin off my nose. It's a med-school aimed class and it's in my interests so fine.
now onto the pics.
The first two are from the Leo Petroglyphs near me. Fort Ancient indians, they think... personally since there's a fire pit in the middle of them I'm thinking a hunting camp of drunk, happy ancient hunters sketching away...
A ‘ghost’
A ‘happy face?’
Looking at these Russian black tomatoes makes me wonder what's in my ground...or if that Indian curse is for real freaks
And from Beaver Cemetery
Fancy
check out the chest on this one. It looks like he's been shot Bleeding statue
You don't often see dogs in funerary art so I always like to snap them when I see them
doggies
And the one you wanted to see, the one they tried to make look like Jesus' tomb
I know Madge, let’s bury ourselves ala Joseph of Arithemea
Sanctity of the grave is all well and good but I'm too curious to not put my hand through the broken window to see what's inside Eternal Rest? Bah
Like I said the name 'Leaf' is the only marker on the tomb but several of these stylized leaves can be found on it Leaf
I just thought her face was too sweet Flower Girl

My hubby and I already have our gravestones with everything but the date of death on it. We had our mastiffs' heads inscribed on it, and we'll be buried in a pioneer cemetery on the Oregon coast overlooking the ocean.
It's the only ocean-view property we could afford.

as for devotion vs hubris...my parents and I were having that debate
