My name is Judy Bearman and I live where the Columbia river meets the Pacific Ocean. Its a beautiful place to live. I've been doing Genealogy since I was 20 years old, and that was a long time ago. I love learning about who I am, who I descended from, and where they lived. Right now I've taken on the job of photographing the Ocean View Cemetery, governed by Astoria and located on the edge of a lake in Warrenton, Oregon. My husband and I spend many hours at the cemetery. He goes ahead of me, sweeping the goose, elk and deer poop and other things from the stones, and I follow along photographing. I would love to photograph each stone in its pristine condition, but time and mother nature just won't allow that. The Lichen and other growth win some stones.
Enjoy my photos, and if you see something that should be changed, let me know.
