Thank you so much my super, amazing, sweet friends, for all your wonderful comments and concern during my much prolonged absence. I have truly missed you all very much, and am very sorry I have not responded to those of you who left me such kind comments (blame K). I am happy to be back (yay!) and am very excited to visit all of you! Now, brace yourself for my scary Halloween post. Boo!
CEMETERY 1:
~~ Percy Bysshe Shelley, English Romantic and Lyric Poet, 1792-1822
Through many a listening chamber, cave and ruin,
And starlight wood, with fearful steps pursuing
Hopes of high talk with the departed dead.
(from “Hymn to Intellectual Beauty,” 1817)
~~ George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron (aka Lord Byron), English Poet, 1788 – 1824
Thy corpse shall from its tomb be rent:
Then ghastly haunt thy native place,
and suck the blood of all thy race.
(from “The Giaour,” 1813)
CEMETERY 2:
Hope you all have a spooky, scary, and fun Halloween!
Cemetery 2 was very freaky. Silvius kept crying and wanted to get into the car, and once inside, he would not come back out. I was brave, and did my photo shoot, but leaving could not come soon enough! It is not that I am a scaredy-cat, quite the opposite! I am a very brave and courageous dog! However, when confronted with ghosties and ghoulies, I think it best to scram! I'm just sayin'...

Suka!!!! Finally you're back! I missed you! I hope all is well.
Well, what to say? Amazing post!
I love all the photos, so scary, you've had a lot of courage to go to these cemeteries.
Have a happy Halloween, dear friends.

Woof! Woof! Oh Soooooo Happy to see a blog post. Missed you. Oh my you are brave ... Happy Halloween. Have a safe FUN Howl-o-ween! Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Suka!!! You are very brave. I wouldn't be caught dead in a cemetery (bawahhahaha, that was a little halloween humor). But seriously, you were very brave. The cemeteries by us all have coyotes (real ones, not ghosts) so that's a bit creepy as well!
Your pal, Pip
BWHahahaha....
Hap-Pee Howl-O-WEENIE!!!
:o)
Hi Suka
Great to see you back. But what a scary post. I am hiding behind the sofa already...(and it's only just starting to get dark).

Hello,
HAPPY HALLOWEEN DAY.
Hugs
So nice to see you again! Those were some pretty scary pictures, my friend....Happy Halloween!
It's great to see you. I do not think I would care to take a photo shoot in a creepy old cemetary. You were brave!

You were so missed! Hope the world is once again spinning in its proper path and that the Universe is showering you and yours with blessings. Please send word.
Those cemeteries were VERY scary... we were so worried that something would rise up out of the ground to leap from behind a tomstone. You are super brave (and so is Silvius even for riding along). We LOVE black and white photos; they heighten the emotion.
yay! My whimpers came true, my friend is back! :) Looks like you had an eventful halloween! I hear that some scary people are going to come to our door. Hope they have treats....:D
Suka, so very good to see you, and thanks for stopping back our blog. We wondered where you had gone to, but we are so happy to see you again. Hope all is well with you and Mom.
Happy Howloween to you.

Glad to have you back!
Sending you a zillion hugs,
Joan & Little Janie Poo

Boy Suka you were brave. Most our humans don't realize that we, with our very special noses can smell a lot more to a cemetary than meets the eye.
Do ghosts smell? well.....
YOU BET.....so if you were worried, it was with good cause.
Not all ghosts are fun like Casper......
whew....yes, you are brave....I think I would have dragged my Vickie right out the front gate and down the street.
Loved the pictures
Bert
Suka!! good buddy! Welcome back. The Cemetary looked cool. Ours don't allow dogs so I have never been to one.

Happy Halloween! Did you get a lot of tricks or treat?

You were brave to visit a cemetery! Kelly visited one a few weeks back on the blog, too. Turns out we have a president buried in our local cemetery! But mostly, we don't like going near there if we don't hafta!
