When I was eight years old our dog died and my dad buried it under a Mimosa tree in the back yard. That same year, the old lady across the road died and they buried her in a family cemetery in their yard near a huge oak tree. I remember riding by Memory Gardens Cemetery later and wondering if none of the people buried there had yards, or trees, or if their families just didn't love them like we loved our dog, or like our neighbors loved their granny.

A mostly black and white shot except for the two main subjects, who are presented in desaturated color tones. In a group of teens, a girl wearing tall boots, blue tutu-style skirt, light purple tank top, and large black hat with fur trim obscuring her face pulls a strawberry-patterned knit hat down over the head and face of the boy facing her, who is wearing a black leather jacket, jeans, and Converse shoes.
A cute moment from Seattle's Folklife festival many years ago.

I guess i should be happy enough that Straw and Order in #FolkLife has gone so mental in metrics that it has attracted predatory companies...
The salt pans near #Marsalforn in #Gozo are centuries-old rock-cut pools where locals still harvest sea salt by hand each summer — a living #folk tradition passed down through generations.
