After my son's retirement from the Marine Corps, posted in another thread in the Photo Gallery, I had the opportunity to visit the National Cemetery in Beaufort, SC.

My parents retired to HH island. I can't wait to visit again to also visit this cemetery now that I know about it. Thank you for sharing.

This is not a very big cemetery, but worth the visit. They even have a section for the African-American troops that fought in the battle of Fort Wagner that was depicted in the movie Glory. I found the subdued lighting of the overcast day to be perfect to set the mood. Thanks for looking and I hope you get back to the Low Country soon. You also might want to visit Hunting Island State Park which is east of Beaufort past Lady Island. It is also a place worth visiting.

Very nice AntieM. I just love the old oaks. Such a nice peaceful place of rest.

The moss on the trees make them look like they are weeping for the dead.
The bird on the head stone in the sixth picture is a nice touch.

They looked to be really old oaks there, with lots of personality. Thanks for looking and your comments.

I never thought of the moss looking like tears, but it does, doesn't it? Great analogy! The bird turned and looked at me, then remained on the stone til I had taken it's photo. Cheeky little individual. Thanks for looking and your comments.

Thanks for stopping by and your kind comments. I am thinking of converting several to b/w because of the lighting that day.

Very good shots, AuntieM! I love the Spanish moss hanging from the trees, and the beautiful yet somber grave stones beneath. Very good shots!
