Lake Superior Day

Today is Lake Superior Day. I am from Michigan. I did not know this day existed. But, I love visiting the shorelines of Lake Superior, especially at White Fish Point.

Rocks from Whitefish Point.

Whitefish Point was one of my mom’s favorite destinations. She loved looking through all the rocks. To me, the place is just beautiful.

Do you have a favorite place to stop on the shores of Lake Superior? Let me know in the comments!

Loading Pineapples

The photo titled, “Loading Pineapples in Hawaii” is part of a new lot. I recently won 3 boxes of negatives, slides, old films, and miscellaneous equipment from a local online auction. All came from the same owner. I was actually disappointed with myself for not bidding on the other lots.

This is just one of the boxes. There are slides from Rome, Spain, Paris, and much more.

Anyways, the owners were definitely travelers. I cannot wait to go through all the images.

Have a fantastic day!

Until next time…peace

April 29,1941

This image actually has a little information on the back. Written in two different colored inks. First, in black ink, the date is April 29, 1941. Next in blue are the names Mom & Pop Schmidt.

There is also a Kodak Processing stamp on the back with the location of Kansas City, MO. I rarely get that much information on one small photo.

The couple are drinking a beer. I tried to enlarge the image to read the label. But I cannot quite tell what kind of beer they are consuming. I did notice there were flowers in the background. I wonder if they are toasting a happy occasion like an anniversary.

What do you see when you look at the photo?

South Dakota 1950

I enlarged this photo to view the license plate on the back of the truck which reads South Dakota 50 or 1950. The image does not have any identifying marks.

The older boy is sitting on a new bike. I wonder if the bicycle was a gift for a birthday.

The image is typical life at this time. I see a small flower garden to the right. There are clothes hanging on the line to the back left of the photo.

The younger boy’s pants are clearly too large, indicating second-hand clothes or hand-me-downs from his older brother.

What do you see when you look at the image?

Until next time…peace
