Within the genealogy blogging community there is a weekly prompt to post tombstones on what is commonly known as Tombstone Tuesdays.
I understand how some people would think genealogist can be a rather morbid group of individuals. Truth be told, we love cemeteries. One of my greatest compliments was when I had taken a person to see their families grave sites and the person exclaimed to a group of fellow genealogist, Ruth took me to a cemetery and we had so much fun.
Mount Hope Cemetery San Diego, California. is a fabulous cemetery in my new hometown of San Diego, California. The resting place of several interesting people are found in this cemetery.
Today's Tombstone Tuesday is a collection of photos of a family plot found within this cemetery. The plots arranged make for a massive and detailed tribute to this family. I wanted to share this section with other tombstone enthusiast.
So many angels all together - a lovely place for a picnic :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the angels. I could spend a lot of time photographing the individual angels/faces. Statuary is my 2nd favorite part of cemeteries, after genealogy of course. :)
ReplyDeleteSome of the angels are just duplicates. But I love the dogs at the benches also. I have several more of this group of statures including the engraving on the side of the main pedestal explaining the origin of the family.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen anything like this. Beautiful!
