A path going through a natural arch of trees. Although some trees still have green leaves, others are beginning to show their autumn colours. Above, the sky is cloudy with a hint of blue.

Out on a mountain trail yesterday, spider webs everywhere. A cloud covered the top of the mountain so everything was dripping wet like this.

#woodlandwednesday it was the edge of an inversion layer. As I came out of the valley, I began to see the sunlight, streaking down through the canopy...

Day 13 - Skeleton

#31daysofgraves

An old weathered gravestone stands in a grassy churchyard surrounded by other headstones. The top of the stone is elaborately carved with a skull surrounded by leaves and vines, symbolizing mortality. The inscription below is partly in Latin and partly in English, its letters softened by time and moss. It reads in part: “In spem Beatae Resurrectionis Hic reconditum est quicquid Mortale fuit… Judith… Daughter of Matthew Nicholas…” and dates to October 6th, 1748. The lower portion mentions that Judith was aged 14 years. The stone’s age and ornate memento mori carving give it a haunting yet reverent beauty, evocative of 18th-century funerary art.

Latin translation:

“In the hope of a Blessed Resurrection,
Here is laid whatever was mortal
of Judith, daughter of Matthew Nicholas, Master of Arts,
of Shalford in the County of Surrey,
who returned her soul to God
on the 6th of October, 1748,
aged 14 years.”

The combination of Latin and English was common at that time for educated families, particularly clergy or scholars (the “A.M.” stands for Artium Magister, or Master of Arts).

In the foreground, the green waters of the lake. In the background, a blue sky, mountains with few trees, and the typical vegetation of these places above 2000 meters above sea level.

Today is a positively glorious Spring day in Victoria #Australia
It’s warm, calm with clear skies and other than an errant cloud or two
it’s the kind of day that lifts your spirits and allows you time to put aside the worlds woes for a little while💙
