• That Time A Graveyard Tree Tried To Kill Me

  It occurs to me that I’ve never posted these pictures on Xanga.

  

  It seemed like such a charming little churchyard.  And some of those headstones dated back to the 1700s.  I thought I would stop in and take pictures of some of the headstones.

  

  Apparently the cemetery’s Sentinel Tree didn’t like that idea.

  
  The dead do not suffer the living to pass…

  I was walking under the tree–on a mostly windless day, mind you–when suddenly I heard a snap-snap-crackle-snap above me.  Without stopping to think, I instinctively broke into a run.

  

  I had been walking in front of that headstone only seconds before.

  

  (Me for scale, while I was moving the branch off the headstone.)

  Usually trees like me, but that Sentinel Tree was a cranky one.
