I love seeing the names, dates, family groupings, headstone designs through the ages, other people paying their respects to loved ones.
The worst part about it? Passing by without taking a photo.
Sometimes the stone is just too worn out to read anything. I hate not taking a photo. I really really hate it. I feel like I'm letting the person down. Like they weren't worth the effort. Sometimes I take a photo anyway because I just hate all that guilt from NOT taking it. But I don't really think anyone is going to be able to decipher it. And usually they are half buried and I just don't have the energy to dig it out. Then I feel like I'm being lazy.

Why not? Go ahead and take them. It doesn't hurt anything and if it helps ease your guilt then it's a win win....
I'd say go ahead and take them. Perhaps someone with a special need to know will be able to gain some spiritual insight into what was originally written there. :) Kent
Take the pictures, then when you get alittle time look at them and try to imangine who they might be, I know from some researching I've done that alot of times when a small child or baby died they only put a stone or nondiscriptive stone that only the family new who was buried there. I'd like to see some of them.Lorna
