National cemetery

These pictures were taken at a National Cememtery in Macomb, IL. It's a beautiful cemetery and there's another (not National) cemetery that joins in. You can see the other cemetery in some of the pictures. It was beautiful there. The grass was so green and lush. The cicadas were out in full force there. When I first got out of the car I thought frogs were singing but it didn't take me long to realize that it was cicadas.

National cemetery

This may not interest a most of you but I've always liked to visit cemeteries. The pictures below is from a nation cemetery in Keokuk, IA. There was also a public cemetery in the same area. I like the national cemeteries because they have the headstones in such a nice neat pattern and they also remind me of the people who have died so we can have the freedom we have.
