Graveyard Rabbits Scavenger Hunt June 2010
"Like a traditional scavenger hunt, the object is to find as many items as you can from the list below. In our case, those “items” are to be found in the cemetery, giving us a chance to explore it with a different set of eyes. Then share what you found and where you found it on your blog. Happy hunting!"
I had to only scavenge outside my own collection for one category. As I frequent and photograph mostly older New England graveyards, some of the categories I had to take a few liberties with but I hope you will find them interesting.

What fun! You have a great collection of markers, etc. Looking over the list, I'd say I would really have to search to find many of them in my nearby cemeteries. Living in the "metro" Los Angeles area there are not to many "old" cemeteries.
