3 Brothers?

Posted on by Rebecca C.

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.

Nature’s Beauty in a Cemetery

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I was out and about the other day. Technically, I was searching for bears. Yes, bears. There have been reports of bears in the area. In fact, one gentleman I chatted with informed me that there are actually about 40 in our county. I am going to have to do some research to verify the information.

When I was riding around, I did not come across any bears to photograph (don’t worry, I have a nice long lens to photograph a bear). However, I did discover this beautiful bee’s nest in a cemetery. I have never seen a bee’s nest attached to a cemetery stone before. I really enjoyed photographing the nest.

Nature’s beauty always fascinates me.

Until next time…peace.

Morning Fog

Posted on by Rebecca C.

We had a foggy start to our holiday weekend here in the mid-Michigan area today. The sun, shining through the morning fog, gave a yellowish tint to the landscape.

Personally, I found the effect beautiful. I cannot believe September is here already. The upcoming autumn season is my favorite time of the year.

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Labor Day weekend.

Until next time…peace

Sandhill Cranes in the Morning Fog/Smoke

Posted on by Rebecca C.

At the end of June, the Canadian Wildfires pushed smoke downward through our area. One of the mornings had light fog as well. The result was an eerie effect on the mid-Michigan landscape. I took numerous photos, but I liked this one the best.

While the smoke/fog combination creates a thick layer, the Sandhill Cranes are grazing in a local field. I am both fascinated and heartbroken by the wildfire smoke reaching our area.

My curious side wants to know all about the effects of the Canadian wildfires on areas so far away. But the part of me that loves wildlife and nature weeps for the damage. Yet, I know Mother Earth will continue to heal and provide.

Until next time…peace

Happy World Frog Day

Posted on by Rebecca C.

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

Photo of the Day: Waubay, South Dakota Basketball 1938

Posted on by Rebecca C.

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

Photo of the Day: Love, Arnette

Posted on by Rebecca C.

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

Photo of the Day: Anniversary Couple

Posted on by Rebecca C.

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?

Photo of the Day: The Lady with the White Boots

Posted on by Rebecca C.

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.
