Well, I assume the dog belongs to the lady. I really do not know. But, I like to think they were posing together on Christmas Day.
Based on the photo type and her clothing style, I am guessing this photo is from the early 1950s.
I believe, my grandfather had a desk like the one the Christmas tree is on. So, I am also using that as a basis for the date.
What do you see when you look at the photo?
Until next time…peace
Here is another small group of slides from an estate sale. The photographer was definitely a history buff. I am posting 3 slides today of Mount Vernon. The photos are from George Washington’s Mount Vernon.
The estate is located at 5513 Mount Vernon Memorial Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22309, and is still open for tours today. Another location I need to add to my growing bucket list.
The estate has tours, a museum, and George Washington’s Distillery® and Gristmill which is located 2.7 miles from the main entrance. I do not know if the original Gristmill in the above photo is part of the distillery. I need to research further.
Has anyone ever been here?
Let me know.
Until next time…peace
The spooky season is officially here. I love October. The cooler weather and changing leaves are perfect for photography.
I was out photographing spiderwebs in the fog. Yes, I know, I’m a little odd. I found the spiderwebs beautiful.
I took this photo down at the wildlife area. To me, the dew-covered spiderwebs look like Mother Nature is decorating for Halloween early.
I hope everyone has a fantastic month.
Until next time…peace.
This image was from an estate lot. In my opinion, they are playing horseshoes. I imagine this is a family gathering or perhaps a reunion in a park.
I am guessing the image is from the early 1950s. I base this on the type of image and the style of clothing.
The person sitting on the log is either watching the game closely or bored.
What do you think?

I probably spend way too much time photographing spiders, insects, etc. But watching this mama spider was intriguing.
I believe she is a Wolk Spider. But I am not positive.

Like many of the photos I purchase, there are no identifying marks. I assume the image is from a family gathering, but personally, I cannot tell if the family photo depicts a group of siblings or a mother and father with their children.
When you look at the photo, what do you see?
Until next time…peace
I admit, I do not know if these children were actually brothers. But it reminds me of the photos my aunts would take on holidays. They would gather each group of siblings for photos.
Unfortunately, the image did not have any identifying marks. I am guessing, the photo was taken in the early 1950s.
I absolutely love the artwork in the background. The image is of a young girl holding puppies. I need to see if I can find a print.
When you look at the photo, what do you see?

This image has no identifying marks. I am calling it, “Generations”. In my opinion, the people in the photo resemble a mother, two daughters, and their children.
The mother appears to be wearing black. Perhaps, the photo was taken after her husband’s funeral. Or maybe the outfit is actually a dark blue, the photo could be after a church service or other family gathering.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
I am assuming the lady is posing in front of her house. Perhaps, the house was a new purchase. I can see other houses reflecting in her windows which leads to me to believe the house was in the suburbs. Another scenario, the house may be part of military housing. The photo was in an estate lot with other military photos.
I do have a little information on this image. The back of the photo is stamped with Brown Photo Service, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sept. 11, 1942.
What do you see?
Until next time…peace
I am guessing these three men are brothers. I do not have any information on this old photo. There is not anything written or stamped on the back.
The image contains a barn in the background. I assume they are in a farming community. I would guess the photo was taken in the mid-to-late 1940s from the style of clothing.
There is also a young boy peeking around the corner on the porch. Perhaps one of the gentlemen is his father. He just wanted to see what was going on.
Tell me what you think when you look at the photo.
Until next time…peace.
