I spotted this lovely woman today and asked to take her photo. I told her how pretty I thought she looked in all her red. She seemed as though she were flattered and was enjoying the moment (I hope).

The only other time I’d chanced upon its open house was a couple of years ago. The cemetery is located on East 2nd Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues.

I took a walk in and enjoyed the beautiful weather, the mellow atmosphere of the neighbors, and all the happy, playful dogs on scene.
