Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, Massachusetts

This time around, I visited Mount Auburn with my fiance. This was my third time visiting the place, after getting engaged to him here when we visited in the winter of 2022, so the place carries a lot of meaning to me now.

Starting off with a gray catbird, sitting on one of the graves with either a bug or some nesting material in their mouth.

Dragonfly time!

I was especially prone to taking landscape photos this time around. I love what the orange and yellow flowers add to the otherwise green area here.

The skinniness of this fellow made it incredibly hard to focus on with my camera's lens. It looks like a dragonfly, but I'm wondering if it could be something different due to how long it is and how its wings point backward. Striking neon colors, though, that's for sure.

The cemetery is also an arboretum of sorts, with trees from all parts of the world ending up here. Me and my fiance took extensive pictures of this one very exotic-looking pinecone.

Oh, to be a catbird in a tree with a big berry in my mouth... I could just let the world go by, without any worry at all.

My fiance pointed out two of these beetles to me. I'm not sure what kind they are, either, but they look like friends.

How many bunnies are in this image?

Lastly, we headed to a swampy area with an abundance of frogs and little bugs in it. A birdhouse had been set up here by a high school study program, and a house wren came to say hello to us!
