Welcome to Colorado Springs Daily Photo!


Hi, I'm Tamera, a professional wedding, portrait and boudoir photographer in Colorado Springs. But this blog isn't about my professional work; no, it's a daily love note to my beautiful city, where I've lived for most of my life. I love it here and I hope you enjoy seeing Colorado Springs through my eyes and lens!

A few more from my wanders around Evergreen Cemetery last week.

There are many graves in Evergreen with dates of death around 1918 or '19, many of them likely victims of the Spanish flu, perhaps others perishing in World War I, although I think many of those soldiers must have been buried abroad. Look how young Ms. Clark was. Tragic. I never knew my paternal great-grandparents because they died within months of each other during that same time frame (not in Colorado, though). My grandfather, just a toddler at the time, was raised by his older siblings.

Definitely Spanish flu. Soldiers were back then buried where they fell.

Yes, that nasty flu took the young people.
