Big Meadows, in Shenandoah National Park is one of my favorite places to be.
It has meaning to me, not only beacause of it's beauty,
but because it was the home of my Great Great Grandparents,
Benjamin Franklin and Emma Sue Weakley.
The ruins of their homestead stands just inside a wooded area
on the edge of the meadow. I love to hike out to it and sit...and think..and just be still.
Just a short walk over the hill from the ruins of their homestead,
is the small, peaceful cemetery where they rest.
I shot these pics of the meadow in October, 2008.
Enjoy.
