Topic: Drive by Cemetary Pic..

[MassMama]

On the back of the bike I was snapping pics and got a good of of the cemetary.. Not too bad for going 50 or so ... This is near Georgetown Massachusetts

Picture removed...

That is a very good picture at 50 mph, Rita! Please tell me you weren't driving the bike!   

Edit: Oh, I just saw you were riding on the back. Need to pay attention, don't I? 

[MassMama]

 
Ohhh Dianna  your soo funny!!
I was just thinking of getting a different camera till just today 

[Bonnie]

It doesn't look like you need a new camera. That's a pretty good picture.

I bet there are some old graves in there.  That's the kind we would like to find around here and get out some afternoon and walk it.  I enjoy reading the tombstones and of course if you can stay until it gets dark, depending if it has posted hours or not, well then the possibilities are endless.

Notice how thin the tombstones are?  That is a good indicator of some old sites.  The stones are so much thicker today.

[Dianna]

What kind of camera do you have, Rita? I will swap with you! 

[MassMama]

I must of passed at least a dozen or more they all look like that here...some are so worn you can't even read them anymore...

But I want the 10 mega pixel  

I have a Kodak easyshard 3.1 mega pixel

[Dianna]

Mine is a Olympus 5.0 mp. Yours takes better pictures! I can't believe you got such good shots on the back of a bike doing 50 mph. That is a goooooood camera. I don't think mine will do that!

We tried to take a pic of my spider plants babies this evening and they were so fuzzy you couldn't see what they were. I deleted them off of my camera...

I want a 10 mp, too!

[MassMama]

Mine has a sports setting close up setting night panarama and regular... it has 10x zoom as well.... I think I will have a spider baby soon too!! 

[Dianna]

I hope you get a better pic of it than I did mine! I will try again tomorrow, though....

I am so happy you had a great day!

[MassMama]

Thanks ...

It is a pain to take a pic when you want it to turn out though... I just take several and hope one turns out good... got some down in posies I just posted... well a while ago

[Jim]

  I thought we were talking about cemeteries. 

[Dianna]

  Where is the "phooey" graemlin when we need him in the cemetery? 

Seriously, though, I would love to wander around that cemetery and do some rubbings...

[MassMama]

  Dianna made me do it  

[MassMama]

  Sure when ya comming up 

[Penny]

   I agree with Jim, i bet there are lots of old graves in there, it would be neat to go for a walk in there and look around

[Jim]

I hit MapQuest and after I saw the distance figured an outing there was out.  Over 900 miles, 15 plus hours driving time.  Getting Dianna on a plane is out of the question. 

[MassMama]

OHHHH MAN!!!! Dianna you need to get your hiney on a plane... Or how about amtrek?  I am sure you would have a blast around here ... Of course there is also Salem Massachusetts ... All the history there is sure to draw up something!!

You could sedate me first!

by Rita:

there is also Salem Massachusetts

I would love to go there, too. My first priority would probably be meeting you, though, if we got that close! 

[MassMama]

  yeah well of course!! and of course your both welcome (as long as you can handle the boys  )
I will send the drinks right away
It is a beautiful area and I would love it if there were more spaces to stop (if Keith wanted to stop  )

[Dianna]

How far is Salem away from you? That is probably where we would stay (dreaming, of course). I would love to visit that area, though. Of course you would be going on the investigations with us. Right? You would hold my hand while I was shivering in my sneakers?  We can't all be scared! 

If you are doing the sedating...Natural Light, Michelob Light, or Bud Light works. And, there is always the heavy-duty stuff. Margaritas or Pina Coladas. You may keep your gin to yourself! 

Wouldn't we have fun, though? Maybe one day...

[MassMama]

Ok here ya go Dianna  Salem is not that far... It is a beautiful City on the ocean...Lots of old buildings and such...They have a witch museum too...
Keith and I would love to visit your area as well ... He liked the drive through the southern area coastline!! But if I were to come visit I would fly ... I hate sitting too long

      to get back on the topic of the pic      thats a awsome pic rita! wow cant belive you were giong 50 n got that pic! its great love those stones, thats gotta be an old cemetary

[MassMama]

  Christy.. I have a great action setting on my camera. even though I forget to take it with me most of the time.

There are alot of really really old cemetaries around here.. It is just finding the ones that are open to the public or the ones that don't have a 10 foot fence up .. then there are others that don't have a road or anywhere to pull off to take a look.

[Wrennie]

That is a great pic for 50ph. Theres a very old abandoned cemetery near my house (about 1 mile)  I really have to go for a hike (read this as walk up a hill) and get a pic. Went there years ago with an xbf and his kids and did rubbings. It was very cool. Not a huge graveyard. Some of the caskets have caved in. before I ever was there, there used to be a cchilds headstone with a rose imbedded in glass in it. Someone stole the rose!

If you two drive to Ritas you best make a pit stop in NY on the way!
