I was in Boston that weekend too - I looked to see if I was spotted in one of your pictures, but no. We left the city early on Monday anyway, to take off for Maine and NH. Wow!

I, too, have observed her growing up. But then I observed the KnitSisters growing up also. "That time of year thou mayst in me behold. . . ." Obsessions with death??

I think all the best people are. We aren't Irish, but we are Welsh. Which in certain important ways is just about the same as being Irish... Oppression by England, drinking, obsession with death, etc. What's the saying about the Welsh? "Give a Welshman his choice of doors, and he'll always choose the one marked 'Self Destruction.'" I try to rise above blood, but you know. It can be challenging... I’m so glad all of you are enthusiastic cemetery crawlers! I think all the best people are.

When I come to Beantown you can cart me to as many cemetaries and as many pubs as you like. I'm all for death and drinking. Are you Irish? And Red--what a beauty!

I had a fun day with a young friend a couple years ago - she was doing some art modeling while visiting me, and one photographer used a pioneer cemetery out here in the left-coast Portland as the location. It was lovely. Great pix of the tombstones, and *especially* lovely pic of the turning leaves! Great post!
