Great to see your stuff again!

Thank you. You might enjoy these then, too. The amount of stuff in this house was quite breathtaking (the dolls were in the same shop). When I walked into this kitchen I literally gasped. I just liked the composition of the other photo more.

Thank you. I especially liked the look on the face of the little 'Indian' doll surrounded by all the lady dolls.

I also (as a lover of cemeteries, is that strange?) really enjoyed the gravestones.
And like other folks here, I'm happy to see some new stuff from you.

Thank you, snowy. The cemetery was amazing. The oldest gravestone we saw was from 1857. Many of them were so worn down that you couldn't read them anymore.
Unfortunately many of my favorite shots from there have my daughter in them so I can't post them here. But I am very happy to have pictures of her in a graveyard.
Even though this is not a great shot, you can get a good idea of how it felt to be there. It was getting near dusk and the overhanging live oak trees and their moss were quite evocative. It was very peaceful. Very nice place to be.
