I couldn’t get anyone at work to get off their asses and look at the sunrise this morning. What the hell is wrong with people?

I went out to Mount Gilead Cemetery today with the new camera. I figured I’d better do a practice run at a nearby cemetery, before going out to a new one. Of course, it’s supposed to get hotter than hell again, so who knows when I’ll get the next chance to go cemeterying?

I’ve been sloooooowly uploading more photos to Findagrave, and I thought this one was kind of interesting. They’ve made their own do-it-yourself marker, but then embedded the little metal plaque from the funeral home into the concrete. (There are a couple of similar grave markers in this cemetery that belong to other members of the Arthur family.)

Ironweed and Heat
Have I complained about the heat? Because it’s rightsomejesus hot here. At 6pm, the actual temperature is 100F with a heat index of 110F. My brain is melting. MELTING, I SAY! Kill me now.
That is all. As you were, comrades.

The flame-leaf sumac is starting to turn.
Thanks to an anonymous patron of teh artz, my camera set-up has been greatly upgraded. So thank you, kind anonymous patron! Today’s photos were all test shots, to get a feel for the new equipment. I can now sneak up on butterflies and bees, which makes me happy.
