stumped

as foretold, the stump collection- sign of life cut short, etc. etc. ^mount feake cemetery, waltham, MA.
iowa city had a curiously high percentage of stump gravestones, as well as a great deal of actual stumps and logs around. here are a few; one is under the superstition-worthy (and likely painted) BLACK ANGEL. i wasn't plucky/foolhardy enough to kiss it.

this cool hand was in a cemetery in andover, MA on the phillips academy campus. nothing like a shawl to calm one down before a job interview.
in maine at the moment. a bounty to come once near cords and scanners and such. til soon, summertime.
