Bonaventure Cemetery

If you are a regular follower of my blog, then many of you will not be surprised by our destination yesterday.....

 It is not the oldest cemetery in Savannah, but it is one of the most visited...by both the living and the dead.  You can read more of its history here.  
Bonaventure Cemetery is hauntingly, beautiful.  Full of history....and secrets...yet to be discovered....come see for yourself....

 "Hauntingly, Beautiful"...it bares repeating.  You are surrounded by large moss laden oaks everywhere you turn.  Its the cemetery's shroud....it envelopes you, keeping you close within it's sheltering arms.  

 Does she ponder what lies ahead or think of the life she left behind....

 What does she see...as she silently waits.....

 Angels abound here......guiding the way....

 Beautiful and elaborate carvings.......

 Each unique and waiting to tell a story....to release its secrets....

 Do you see what I see...I doubt it was the artist intent, but it does make you smile.  A sweet little doggie face, greets all who pass by.....

And this is "Gracie" one of Bonaventures more famous inhabitants.  A sweet child of six, who left this world to soon....
 It was a beautiful day...quiet and peaceful....a day of reflection...a day well spent.
