Way Down Upon the Swanee River by alophoto

Way Down Upon the Swanee River

I grew up in Florida where the state song was Swanee River. Every time I crossed the river while in college, I'd sing the state song at the top of my lungs. Way down upon the Swanee River, Far far away...

This week, I went back to one of my favorite places to visit in the Springtime. Spring Grove Cemetery. It's the place where I shot a little Princess in her secret garden years ago. It's a place where my family has a family plot and my great great Grandmother, Florabelle, is buried.

It's a place that I'd like to end up someday as it is completely gorgeous and peaceful.

It's so filled with life that it hardly seems to be a place associated with death.

I love the swans that make their home there and thought this one looked marvelous under the white dogwood tree.

Happy almost weekend!
A beauty!

I've always known that song but actually have never associated it with a swan before! Now it's there..
