In the Garden of Angels

Todays I headed to Beaumont California to photograph a party finished early and head towards home traffic was abit of a mess has the rain brought out the ignorant drivers.So I pulled off and drove to Desert Lawn memorial cemetery has its been on my list to see the Garden of Angels.There was a real sadness to the place but only a sadness to those lost and abandoned children whom this was made for.The rest was a feeling of what a beautiful place and what a wondeful way to give life back to those that have been abandoned.While I was there about 4 others cars pulled in to see the garden which is very small,tho the cemetery itself is quite big and with many old markers and points of interest.I took many images and will be posting another post on the garden and the surroundings in a future post.Cheers folks

1st fall walk among the cemetery

My first walk of the fall season through a local cemetery a favorite of mine,im always finding new shots and things to photograph at Evergreen memorial cemetery located on 14th street in Riverside,Ca.Most of what I photogaphed this time were things others left behind has a few of the smaller things seem worn and weathered its makes me happy to see them like that,because I no they have been left behind by loved ones and others have had enough respect to leave them.

Recently ive seen this Angel which was placed not to long ago I hope the same respect is taken with this too.

while walking through I had to take a second glance has the stone said BOBO tho with a slight edit i added the period.Has to say Bob.O which happens to be may name.Kinda eerie to see your own name in a cemetery. 

in this particular cemetery there are many benches which have the names of those laid to rest marked on them.

Randy Rhoads final resting place

Some time last year I found my self in the area of Randy Rhoads so I stopped in to pay my respects to the guitar legend and the surroundings

A wonderful door I thought 

when out photographing a cemetery im always on the look out for angels

While coming up to the Rhoads memorial there were a few gentlemen paying there respect,I talk to them for a moment and said they drove down from Northern California to pay there respect and that one of the gentlemen was associated with Findagrave.com.I left them for a moment and explored abit more to see them taking off,pulled up and took my shots.

The Rhoads Memorial can be found at Mountain view cemetery San Bernardino.
