Bush Lake 1957

This photo actually has some information on the back. The handwriting is faded but I believe it reads:

Big Bush Lake Fishing

Dec. 25, 1957

And, then the names Eugene, Oscar, and Dennis.

I know there’s a Bush Lake in Minnesota. And, one here in Michigan.

I cannot tell you the exact location of the photo.

Exploring Pukapuka: Insights from a 1958 Image

I purchased this image from an estate sale. I don’t have any factual information. I did a Google search. The results suggests this is Pukapuka, formerly Danger Island in the Pacific Ocean.

The AI overview suggests this is a image from 1958.

Exploring a 1920s Wedding Photo from Bay City, MI

Here’s another photo that I am placing around the 1920s. I am assuming the couple just got married. And, they are now posing for their first photo as man and wife.

I believe this is a studio photo but I guess the location could be someone’s home.

The only identifying mark on the photo is the studio stamp. The photo was taking by Gorzycki in Bay City, Michigan. I think the other part reads: 2249 E. Grant Sts.

Soulful Eyes

I photographed this beautiful creature from a distance. She was just so still. I don’t know if she was ill or hurt. Or maybe she was just having a rest. But she just stared at me.

I wanted to walk up to her. But she was on private property. I didn’t dare cross over.

Until next time…peace

Celebration

The young girl on the right is proudly holding a doll. The dress of the doll looks handmade. I am wondering if this was a birthday gift or other celebration. All the children are dressed well which gives me the impression the day was a special occasion.

I am guessing the photo was taken in the late 1930s or early 1940s.

School Photo circa 1930s

This photo was part of an estate sale. Based on the style of clothing and the type of photos, I am guessing around 1930s.

To me, the image looks like a school photo. I would actually go so far to say, a private school. The children all seem to be the same age–preschool or kindergarten.

Two Kids and a Dog

No matter the decade a family pet is always a welcomed companion for children. The kids seem to be dressed up and posing for the photographer.

I do not have any information on the photo. But I am guessing, the photo was taken in the late 1920s or early 1930s.

Did you have a family pet as a kid?

A Couple and Their Dog

I actually have a lot of photos of this couple. Unfortunately, none of the images have any identifying marks.

Since they are posing out front on a porch, I am wondering if they bought a new home.

From their style of clothing and the type of image, I place this photo in the early 1940s.

Sisters? Best Friends?

This image is from a recent estate lot. I don’t have an exact date. I am guessing the time frame is mid to late 1930s. I base this on the style of clothing and the type of photo. They look happy posing in the backyard or flower garden together. I wonder if they were dressed up to go somewhere special.

Soaking Up the Sun

I like this photo. It’s simple. A man and his dog sitting on a porch rail. I am envisioning a warm, sunny day.

I don’t have any information on this photo. After searching through the estate lot, I noticed he is in many photos with other people. I am assuming the others are family members.

Unfortunately, I do not have a date. But I am guessing the photo was taken in the 1940s.
