Stone Wall at Mt. Wollaston

[click image to enlarge]


This 1.5 mile long granite wall surrounding Mount Wollaston Cemetery was erected in 1934-5 by the WPA and is dedicated to the memory of Thomas Morton, an early American colonist, writer, lawyer and social reformer who founded the neighborhood of Merrymount that borders the cemetery. I'm really impressed with the design and workmanship of this memorial wall.

My goodness, you will become a granite expert! You can give a tour of Quincy on the theme. ;)

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
