Wednesday Walk St Marys Cemetery Dartmouth
This post if for Wednesday walk challenge And Make me Smile Collaboration challenge, initially our collaboration was once a month but due to the popularity of it we have decided to make the collab a weekly thing :)
Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)
For this weeks walk I am sharing a few shots of a walk through St Mary's Cemetery in Dartmouth MA.
As most of you who follow me know my habit used to be to go out early for sunrise walks, and to be honest I wqill still do that often, but I have decided to mix in some walks an hour or two after sunrise to visit some places better viewed and photographed with some light.
And St Mary's is the first of these not so early in the morning walks, Starting with this shot of the fence surrounding the cemetery and the name on the big rock

I noticed looking at the headstones most of the Cemetery seems to be for Irish Descendants, but I will share some images of headstones and such in other posts, for this one I will focus on the walking paths, well roads in the cemetery

Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea is to get out for a short walk and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start. And this is my entry for this week, but first, let me explain the challenge.
This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by myself, let me first explain the guidelines
Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of.
Your walk does not have to be on a Wednesday I just ask if possible to share your walk photos on a Wednesday.
Try and get a few shots not just one
Add a bit of a write up about where you walked
Just one Wednesday Walk tagged post a week
You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.
Make a point of looking around and up and see what you can find to get shots of that otherwise you may miss
Do a post with the shots you get on a Wednesday and tag it with #wednesdaywalk, also if you happen to join, please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all, especially if its not one of the first 5 tags or I may miss seeing it .
Following me and re-Hiving the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion.
I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules
I will try and visit, and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk.
