Weekly Photo Challenge: Beyond
is this grave the final resting place of the woman who was known as Mother Goose?
In this week’s photo challenge, bloggers were asked to present a photo about “beyond.”
To many this conjured up images of city and bucolic landscapes.
For me, I thought of the beyond as the Great Beyond.
This fall, a few days before Halloween, I visited Boston and walked the Freedom Trail. Along the trail is the Granary Burial Ground, the ancient cemetery where many of this country’s earliest patriots are buried.
Perhaps she was not a patriot, but it is believed that this cemetery is believed the final resting place of Mary Goose.
Though she rests in the great beyond, Mother Goose’s poems have been read to children through the centuries, to the present and beyond.

Nice original choice of subject. There’s a cemetery in Amsterdam named ‘Tot dusver’ – ‘So far…’. Or perhaps more accurately, ‘So far,so good!’

My husband was so glad to see your post because his first thought when I told him this week’s challenge was Beyond, was a cemetery. You post is the first one I have seen that had the same interpretation. That made him happy! 🙂

Thank you great minds think alike : ). If you don’t need to go to a cemetery for a sad occasion, they are actually historically fascinating places to visit. I did try to take an original spin on the challenge. Thanks for commenting.
