Two American icons

Last weekend on our way home from St. George, we detoured through Saratoga Springs to see Angie and Jacob's new house and then continued on around the mountain instead of heading back to the freeway.

The drive took us through Fairfield where I spotted this in the local cemetery right off our route:
Hit the brakes!

Turn around.

We needed a closer look.

How cool is that. He's perched right next to an American flag.

Around the cemetery we drove just watching him until we got a little too close for comfort and he took off . . . 

to find his mate.
