A few days ago I promised some gravestone photos from the Kyle Cemetery...

Here's 2 from Marlee (Age 6)

And here's a couple I took.

This is the scene at the Kyle Cemetery. Thanks to KDP reader "Spence Ohana" for tipping me off about the fantastic flowers at this location. I got some really nice landscape shots from the field in front of the cemetery.

I'll post a few more of my Kyle Cemetery wildflower photos in the next few days.

Kyle Hanging Tree

The "Kyle Hanging Tree" has an interesting story. Apparently an unnamed man was found hung to death at this tree, which was located on Colonel Claiborne Kyle's property around 1840-1850. I'm assuming that because of this and a death in his own family, he gifted about 15 acres of land around the tree to form a community cemetery. To this day, this tree is located at the Kyle Cemetery on Country Road 136 (aka Old Stagecoach Road).

A little history lesson for a Monday.
