This next photo taken from the grotto looking back towards Bayou Lafourche shows two of the trees that have survived all these years. I'm thinking that the cemetary grew to use almost all of the grounds of the original St. Joseph church and claimed the rest of the trees. That would make those trees 143 years old. The trees seem to attract quite a number of birds including a nighthawk that I spotted coming to roost in the branches this morning after a hard nights foraging.
This next view is from just beyond the two live oak trees looking back at the grotto. I was standing in the mausoleum which is a favorite roosting site for house finches. I flush them quite frequently on my early morning walks.
Mullet jumping in the bayou caused this pattern of ever widening concentric circles interfacing at the perifery.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
