Happy Mother’s Day!

I believe this is a mom and new baby. I think, the baby is a boy. But I am not 100% certain. It’s hard to tell sometimes in older photos.

I have a lot of photos of this family. I believe the timeframe is the 1940s.

What do you think?

Once again…Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there.

Until next time…peace

Full of Smiles

Like many of my photos that I purchase, I do not have any identifying marks or information on this image. I wonder if the lady is the little girl’s grandmother or great grandmother.

I looks to be a beautiful sunny day. They both are smiling for the camera.

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

Until next time…peace

A Lady in the Long Coat

I do not have any information on the photo. The image is from another estate lot. From the style of clothing and the type of print, I am placing the image in the 1940s.

The woman appears to be either startled by the person capturing the photo or reluctant to have her picture taken.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

A Sunny Day

The little girl is all dressed up. Perhaps, she’s going to church or off to visit someone. From the style of clothing, I am placing this photo in the late 1940s.

Like most of my images, I do not have any further information.

I absolutely love the little suitcase and stuffed elephant in the photo. I am positive they are the little one’s prized possessions.

Until next time…peace

Holding Hands

LIke many of my photos, I do not have any information. I love this image of the couple holding hands and walking toward the dock. I am assuming they are on vacation.

There are two “Live Bait” signs in the image. The sign on the right has the most information. It reads Reserved Customers-Sea Breeze-Ice Cold Soft Drinks-Beer-Groceries.

My Google search, placed the Seabreeze in Florida in the 1940s. I cannot guarantee it’s the same Seabreeze. But the date is where I would have placed the photo.

Vintage Family Gathering: Dablin Family Photos

I bought these photos from an estate sale. The images seem to be focused on the Dablin family. The photo is a family gathering for a birthday.

The date on the back of the image is June 5, 1949.

The following names are also printed on the back:

L to R: Edgar B. Donaldson, Almond M. Jackson, Carl A. Burnham, Forest H. Bermp, John A. Dablin, John B. Coyle, John K. Dablin (his birthday), Marion L. Donaldson, Jessie J. Mann, Elizabeth J. Dablin, Ruth M. Coyle with John B. Coyle, Jr., and Ellen V. Dablin

Take at 4 Bishop Ave., Warcester

I copied the words down as best as I could read them.

What do you think? I think they are having fun.

Until next time…peace

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.

National Wildlife Day

Happy National Wildlife Day! I love watching and photographing the wildlife.

I am a firm believer…when these beautiful birds start to gather…summer is over.

I find nature peaceful and fascinating.

Ospreys are one of my favorite birds of prey to photograph.

Have a great day everyone!

Do you like wildlife? What is your favorite animal to see in the wild?

Until next time…peace
