If you Google "graveyard definition" only the Oxford Learner's Dictionary includes a definition other than a place where dead people are buried. The Learner's dictionary states "a place where things or people that are not wanted are sent or left". I went with the more common definition for my photo.

| Kate: Resting in the Shade |
The White Rose Cemetery was established in 1898, nine years before Oklahoma become a state. It's not far from downtown. The couple buried under the large cross were born in 1829 and 1838 respectively. He died just two years after Oklahoma became a state. I had wanted to try to get a photo at night. But I was a wimp, our night time temps dipped into the teens for most of the week.
This cemetery is on the drive home work for My Guy, so not surprising his photo comes from there as well.

He took his shot from one of the more open places in the cemetery. You can't see it from this vantage point, but the sun is actually moving behind the Osage Hills which rise up from the valley our town lies in.
Grad Girl didn't really have time to go find a cemetery with school starting up and all the stuff she had to get filed so she could graduate this May.

| Grad Girl: Saturday Evening Graveyard |
The Texas A&M Library on a Saturday evening is pretty much a graveyard. Grad Girl has rented some office space so she can focus on getting all her writing done before March. It's much easier to write when you don't have the distractions of all the lab stuff going on, because it is so much more fun to go play in the lab then sit and write.
This week's challenge should produce some interesting photos.
The options here, unlike last week's challenge, are just about unlimited.

That is interesting to think about the different definitions of graveyard. When you said you were a wimp about going to the graveyard at night, I thought it was because it would be scary, lol! I like the black and white effect on both yours and your guy's photos. And Grad Girl's is perfect for "graveyard!"
Once again all three of you did a great job--enjoy seeing what you each come up with each time--hugs, di
Love the photos as always. I love the contrast in yours. Grad girl’s made me smile.
While I appreciate Grad Girl's perspective, I think your photo is my favorite this time around, Kate! All three of you are such good photographers.
Interesting thought of a library as a graveyard......Working nightshift, the time between 2am to 4am is known as the graveyard shift.
All three capture the prompt perfectly, yours is my favorite. I don't think I ever visited that graveyard when we lived there, but I was in my 20s and had no interest in such things. Now I love old graveyards.
Where did you get your prompt cards from I love the ideas and need to take more photos so would love a set of them I have tried a few times to follow along with your prompts and not done as well as I should have.
