This past weekend I went on another cemetery hunt, this being my 4th trip to Connecticut this summer. The timing was the worst as far as photographing the stone. As with all my other visits, I knew exactly which cemetery this person was in. But I didn't know the sun would be casting a huge shadow on the stone. My heart sank of course. Luckly, there is a great photo in FindAGrave and Jack Shackles who took the better picture gave me permission to post (see below).

This happened to me on a cemetery visit this summer, too. All sun and shadows in the photos. But still, bet it was amazing to see these stones in person!
Shelley, maybe we should pray for cloudy "cemetery hunting" days, instead of sunny days. I'm glad you saw your stone tho.
