My Aunt who is watching the burial of her husband, surrounded by family and Great-Grandchildren! Thankful that she will have people who will give her comfort during this painful time.

The front carriage is carrying the casket of my Uncle on the way to the countryside cemetery.
The Buggy returns home empty, to the home place where my father grew up. It was a 1/2 mile walk to the cemetery. I visited this home many times as a lad. So much nostalgia here. Playing in creek, etc. RIP Uncle Christ!

A photo I have been wanting to capture recently. Finally today I went by without any taxi passengers, so I stopped and snapped this view of the farm buildingss at this intersection.

Amish: My cousin in the foreground following the rest of the Amish group who hired me to take me to the Farm & Science Review near London, Ohio, USA. I walked for six hours and walked every street once, and some the second time. I didn’t walk the alleys since they were basically a way to get from one street to another without going all the way to the end of the street. There were hundreds of vendors showing their new things.
The man thing I was doing was trying out the camera on my new phone!

These photos are mine
They are somewhat similar
As I look at them
I missed National Photography day on the 19th, so I decided to post these photos in recognition of that day, and write the Haiku in recognition of National Poets Day. Maybe I was distracted on National Photography day since it was also my birthday! Maybe they also struck me as similar because both of their cultures are very conservative.
The cowboy is not riding a horse, and the rifle was not to ward off cattle rustlers but likely to finish off an unsuspecting Ground Hog! In the backroads of our county some of the farms the barns are across the road from the cow pasture! Therefore after milking time they need to cross the road. I decided to take advantage of this and take some photos.
