Outdoor Picnic-August 1968

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I pulled this image from a slide that was dated August 1968. I purchased these slides as an estate lot. The owners must have traveled a lot. I am loving all the photos from different places around the world. If the locations still exist, I am adding them to my bucket list.

There are photos of couples in front of these cabins. Since this photo was taken in August. I wonder if this isn’t a farewell to summer picnic? The people in the other cabin could be coming together for one last summer picnic.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

October 1967

Posted on by Rebecca C.

This is another image from a slide which was part of an auction lot. The couple must have spent several days in Canada. First there was photo of The Expo ’67, now I am finding photos of other tourist spots.

From my research, I believe they were at Fort Henry National Historic Site which located in Kingston, Ontario.

January 1969–Mexico

Posted on by Rebecca C.

These three slides were together in a small plastic bag in my recent estate lot purchase. There was a little information: January 1969–Mexico.

I wish I knew the name of the resort. I wonder if the place still exists.

I am assuming the two couples traveled together to Mexico. (Probably to escape the cold weather here in Michigan).

Taking photos of each other. I have done this…lol

As I mentioned before, the couples in the images traveled a lot. I am excited to see all their destinations.

Until next time…peace

May 1961

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I took this image from a slide which was labeled May 1961. The group are full of smiles. I do not have any further information.

I recently purchased the slide as part of an estate lot on an auction site.

The people in the slides loved to travel. I am so excited to pull the images off them.

The gentlemen in the photo appear to be in hunting apparel which makes me think they are at a cabin.

Happy Earth Day

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Did you celebrate Earth Day? I was happy to spend time outdoors. I cleaned up the yard a little, took some photos, and planned where to put my flower gardens.

If you look closely, you can see the fish on tip of the pole. This Osprey was enjoying his meal.
The Vultures were snacking on roadkill. I got really close to them before they decided to move along. I laugh every time I see these birds. My mom loved them.

I hope you managed to get outdoors today.

Have you ever watch a Cormorant dive?

Happy Earth Day! Let’s work together for the sake of our planet.

Until next time…peace

Girls in the Snow

Posted on by Rebecca C.

The image doesn’t contain any identifying marks. Two girls posing behind the piles of snow. They seem happy and enjoying the outdoors. They look a little like sisters but I think they are best friends.

From the type of the photo and the style of clothing, I am guessing, the image was taken in the 1920s.

Until next time…peace

Two Men in Front of Signs

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I don’t have any information about the two men in the photo. However, I did look up the ads for more information.

I researched “Jeeps! I’d rather have a milk-nickel” which is a chocolate ice milk slogan. The ad was in place from 1934 to 1941. The dates match the style of clothing and photo type.

I wonder if the two men were part of the benefit. Or if they were just posing in front of the signs for the photographer.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

A Vacation?

Posted on by Rebecca C.

The image did not have any identifying marks. Based on the clothing and type of image, I am placing the photo around the late 1940s.

I think the ladies are on vacation with a grandson. On the left, there looks like a monument.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

A Street Scene

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Does anyone recognize the street? There are some signs. But I cannot identify the area.

If you look to the right of the image, a sign hangs above a door with the words: John F. McCarthy Real Estate Insurance. I did a quick search but did not find a perfect match for location.

On the left side of the image, there are advertising signs for appliances, luggage, china, cutlery, etc. I am assuming this was a variety store.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace
