A Lady and her Dog

The lady appears to be taking a break by leaning against the fence. Perhaps, they were out for a walk and needed a moment to rest. I think the dog is a Scottish Terrier but I am only guessing.

Based on her clothing, I am placing this image in the 1940s.

On the Back Porch

I do not have any identifying marks on this photo. The three ladies look like they are taking a break. I base this on the young boy who is eating some bread or roll.

Perhaps, two of the women were out doing chores or collecting eggs. In the background, there appears to be a barn. There is also a pair of work gloves on the top step.

The third lady appears to be a visitor. But she resembles the other ladies. I am thinking they are all related.

Based on the clothing and style of the image, I am placing this photo in the 1940s.

A Day at the Beach

This image is from an estate lot. I believe, they are a family on vacation. I wonder if they are staying in one of the cabins behind them. Or if the beach is actually in front of them passed the persona taking the photo.

I place the photo in the 1930s. I am basing this guess on the vehicles in the background. If anyone knows the exact make and model I would love to narrow down the date.

Family Posing

I think this image is an extended family posing after a dinner or church. I don’t have any further information on the picture.

From the clothing and type of photo, I am placing the time around the mid-1930s.

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.
