Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
Although perhaps not as nice as the female statue, these had a certain charm of their own. As a dog owner/lover I couldn’t resist the two dog statues.

In addition to the Friends Meeting House we also visited the nearby Fair Ridge Cemetery. It wasn’t the most interesting cemetery I’ve ever been, but it did have some statuary that caught my attention, including this lovely statue of a woman playing a lyre. To my mind this was the most eye catching piece of sculpture in the entire cemetery.

Most of the gravestones were rather plain. This one, however, was somewhat more ornate. It was also rather sad. The inscription is hard to make out but at the top it reads “In memory of our dear children” and then goes on to list four children (John, Samuel, Kate and one whose name I can’t make out) all of whom died at an early age.

Adjacent to the Friends Meeting House is a nice old cemetery. We came across this broken gravestone, which seemed to be in the process of being fixed.
From the amount of rust on the clamps it looked as if they had been there for some time.

On arriving at the Chappaqua Friends Meeting House we were surprised to see a bunch of young children apparently playing among the gravestones.
It seems that the Chappaqua Friends Nursery School is also located at the Friends Meeting House.
