Let’s take a moment to honor those brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
The flag in the photo is on a work site. They are putting windmills up in my area. I snapped this image on a weekend.
Until next time….peace
As many of you know, today, March 20, 2023 is the first day of spring. But, today is also World Frog Day.
I love frogs. I mean they eat bugs. But I also love listening to them late at night. Of course, right now in mid-Michigan we are still experiencing cold, snowy weather. Today, the wind is making everything feel extra cold.
Hopefully, soon I can open up the windows to listen to the frogs singing all night.
Until next time… peace
I won this photo in an online auction. I do not have any information about the team, school, or players. The photo did not seem to match any of the others in the lot.
The photo of the basketball team does have identifying marks.
The front reads, Basketball 1938 & Waubay, S.D. underneath. The lefthand corner indicates the photo was taken by O’Neil Photo Company.
I believe this is a high school team. But I could be wrong.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
The photo shows two young women in a wooded area. I don’t know if they are sisters or best friends. But the two seem to be enjoying themselves.
The photo was taken out of a scrapbook. The back of the image has residue and black paper stuck on it. I do not view any type of date. The photo does have writing on the front and back.
On the front, in the right button corner, the words, “Love, Arnette” are clearly visible.
On the back, the handwritten words read, “This was taken is some big woods. That are near here. It isn’t so plain but I’ll do till I get another. As ever, Arnette.”
From the style of the coats, I am guessing the photo was taken in the late 1940s. But I am not 100% positive.
What do you think, when you see this photo?
Let me know.
Until next time…peace
As usual, I am guessing, the couple is celebrating an anniversary. I love the simplicity of the celebration. A card table and a cake, what else do you need? In my mind, they are surrounded by loved ones while celebrating this milestone anniversary. Maybe a 50th or 60th anniversary, but I cannot view the cake clearly.
I do have a couple of facts from the photo.
The photo was taken in July 1954.
The photo processing took place at:
Brown Photo Company
Minneapolis, Minnesota
What do you see when you look at the photo?

I am assuming, the lady in the photo is posing to show off her new white boots. I honestly do not know if this theory is true.
The photo was printed with some basic lab information on the back.
Brown Photo Services
Minneapolis, Minn.
June 12, 1941
I wonder if the photo was taken earlier in the year. The lady appears to be wearing a heavier coat which would be necessary for the Minnesota winters. In my opinion, I believe the photo was actually snapped in the spring of 1941. Then developed at a later date that is printed on the back of the photo.
What do you see when you look at the photo?
Until next time…peace.

When I was heading to work the other morning, I snapped this photo of the Maple River. On my social media page, I received a lot of opinions on how the photo was creepy. Personally, I thought the scene beautiful. I guess one could say the image is hauntingly beautiful.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
The Maple River is at low levels due to a lack of rain. The shallow water allows Herons and other water birds to search for food along the banks. I am amazed at how still these birds stand. But when a fish is near, they are quick to grab their meal.
Even though I hope for rain, I enjoy photographing these beautiful creatures. I could watch them for hours.
Until next time….peace
I purchased this photo as part of an online auction. There’s no information on the back of the photo.
The cake does have a 50 on the topper. I am guessing, the couple is celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary.
I like the ceramic ducks hanging on the wall. They remind me of some my grandpa had at his house years ago. There are also little ceramic pheasants on the shelf built into the wall.
There is a calendar hanging behind the stove but unfortunately, I cannot read the date.
When you look at the photo, what do you see? I am hoping the couple had many more years of happiness together.
Until next time…peace
I recently purchased some photos from an auction site.
In this particular find, the back of the photo reads, “Some of the Fellows”.
Unfortunately, I do not have any more information. I am assuming, the group was in the military at the time of the photo. I cannot tell which branch. If someone can distinguish the uniforms, I would like to know the branch.
Until next time…peace
