The Little Prince’s Planet – the later years

The Little Prince’s planet, after successfully growing spikes through professional botanical care, was lowered carefully on a string to earth.   The planet will be suffocated under earth, but from it will grow a tree that will sprout out so quickly it’ll spike you in the bum.

Sweet gum seed, found at Geer Cementery (1850-1915), Durham, North Carolina

I have a love for graveyards and cementeries.  You could associate death with them, but I find they are places where you can contemplate life.  We’re really not around for that long, in the end.
