Faces of washelli

Russian Veterans Monument with crow, Washelli, seattle, wa.

one of my favorite people

the crow kept moving - the second crow image is a bit more ideal...a profile vs a head turn.
my little red riding hood amongst it all in there -
her inquiring about whether or not lucy my parent's last dog (rip 2009) was in this cemetery, or her spirit was in our car with us keeping us company.

The dead end alley built on what used to be cemetery

dips in lawn perhaps where the sewer work occurred?

the houses next door...

the wire fence separates cemetery and home- but does it?

so i am officially obsessed now. something we say we protect yet well it doesn't seem the case.
i guess with the living being disrespected why should i be surprised the dead are as well?
and it seems not to many people at least that my husband has spoken to are upset at the thought of graves being moved or left and built upon?!
really?
i am.
i am steaming .
i personally dont want to be buried - i want my ashes to be free to be as nomadic as i wish and desire to be....or to be eaten by birds and other predatory animals.
BUT if you want burial - 
if you pay and sign papers for burial....
you should have those honored at least until civilization falls and we all become a graveyard....
wtf - is this a seattle problem?
is this money?
i am ashamed .....
