Cemetery PhotoBlog #4 - Mission San Juan Capistrano Cemetery

When I first saw this cemetery I was surprised to find that there were only about twelve or so graves. I had expected it to be pretty big... but then I learned that there were over 2000 people buried there, all the graves are all unmarked.


Munching on her apple... Annabelle was having a very gregarious day and waved at everyone.

Annabelle had walked around this grave and popped out trying to surprise me. She laughed hysterically at her own joke. Thankfully I was paying attention and saw where she was going and what she was about to do so I had the camera ready to catch her at the exact moment that she hopped out in front of me. She squealed with laughter and pride at the game...


This tall Celtic cross was erected by Father O'Sullivan as a memorial to those who built the mission. His tomb is directly in front of the cross.
