In the spring, one of the<br />
best places in the county<br />
<strong>to</strong> see bluebonnets is at<br />
Oaklawn Cemetery in<br />
Decatur. It also makes a nice<br />
place <strong>to</strong> take pho<strong>to</strong>graphs<br />
— either with kids sitting<br />
in a patch of flowers or<br />
capturing bucolic scenes<br />
such as this one. Pho<strong>to</strong><br />
