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.
