Our World Tuesday: Through the Cemetery

SandyCarlson November 04, 2013
Adella and I headed for the orchard for some apples and cider
a little too early Sunday morning, so we went looking for a place to walk.  We found ourselves at the Old Bethlem Burying Ground, circa 1750,

where a few Revolutionary War soldiers are buried.  

At the back of the burying ground was an entrance to a trail.  One grave marker was doubling as a cairn near this entrance.

Della wasn't in the mood to be photographed, but I couldn't help myself.
On and on the trail went.  It was so beautiful and so ordinary.  I could have made a day of it, but it was a fine half of an hour.
It'll be there for another time.  Just ask these guys.
Have a great week!

    Love this. I just can't resist following an unexpected trail. Of course if there others with me I feel like Morley's ghost trying to convince others to follow me cuz I want to know where it goes.

    Yes, they aren't going anywhere. Cemeteries are good places for many things ...learning history, seeing birds, and (I guess ironically) thinking about life itself.
