In the colorless land

[urbpan]

Yesterday we went to the Forest Hills Cemetery.







We can't seem to find the source or meaning of this epitaph.


Please note the little girl in a glass tube in the background (as pictured by cottonmanifesto here).


The ballerina and the seacaptain.




The pond is frozen.


Charlie sits on the frozen pond.


Maggie looks down from up in a tree.






We crossed a bridge which had these decorative iron designs.


And looked down upon another frozen pond.


What did she find in there?


Finally, some color.

On this day in 365 Urban Species: nothing, because I was visiting my parents (but I posted twice the day before.)

JUdgin that the epithat is creditied
"-W.M.S."
and one pf the people buried there is Winifred M. Sheldon (W.M.S.), I assume it's just some quaint little thing she must have said...

The ballerina and the sea captain
Went to sea in a beautiful pea-green boat.
They took some honey
And plenty of money
Wrapped in a five-pound note.

That just reminded me of the Edward Lear poem, I don't know why.

How does Maggie climb trees? Or did someone help her up there?

not as well as Charlie.

But she's no slouch.

There's a cemetery somewhere between Waltham and Boston (Chestnut something?) that has a large statue of an angel who appears to be flipping off the world. The inscription is "To My Beloved Wife."

The bridge has cool iron things...
HEHE Charlie on a pond, not in one....;)
Oooh the stained glass is gorgeous...
These pics are creepy but cool...
