It was the strangest thing. I saw this robin sitting on a gravestone in Mount Auburn Cemetery and started creeping closer and closer to try to get a shot- I don't alas have a telephoto lens- and it let me get closer than most birds would before it flew off. Ah well, I thought. But then, for about an hour or so... every time I would crest a hill or meander down another path, there it was! Now this is a pretty darned large place, with lots of territory for this little one to be exploring, so after the third or fourth time I saw it I realized it was ... following me! I never did get a good shot of it, but I did get a little closer each time. If it hadn't been threatening to rain I think in another hour or so I would have gotten the image I wanted. :-)
Not great photos, I know, but the whole experience made me so happy I'm posting a couple anyway.

Mount Hope Cemetery is a historic cemetery in southern Boston, Massachusetts, between the neighborhoods of Roslindale and Mattapan. It was established in 1852 as a private cemetery, and was acquired by the city five years later. It is the city's first cemetery to be laid out in the rural cemetery style, with winding lanes. It was at first 85 acres (34 ha) in size; it was enlarged by the addition of 40 acres (16 ha) in 1929. Its main entrance is on Walk Hill Street, on the northern boundary.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 25, 2009.

Highgate Cemetery East was the first London Cemetery I visited after my interest in cemeteries started, and it ranks as one of my all time favourites. As you enter you enter your greeted by a huge array of impressive monuments, and there are more than a few famous names as you look around, including the monument to Karl Marx.
As you head deeper in it becomes incredibly rural, you could almost forget your in London. In the woods though is an unbelievably high number of headphones densely packed in the woods. There’s lots to see on the main paths, but the real joy comes when you wander down some of the less used paths and find one of many hidden sights to find. A must visit for any UK cemetery enthusiast.
A little out of the way from my usual area of London and Southern England, I visited here when staying with relatives on holiday.
With several historic graves and some amazing views of the surrounding countryside it ranks up there as one of the more beautiful cemeteries I've been to.

The Colonial Park Cemetery 1750-1853. This cemetery was on the boundary of the Original Colony. Many Tombstones were vandalized mostly by Union troops and the gravestones were moved to the East Wall since no one was alive that would remember where they
were originally buried.
