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.

Just a Girl and Her Baby Doll 1944

Posted on by Rebecca C.

This image was part of an estate sale purchase. Unfortunately, I do not have any information on the name of the little girl or the exact location of the photo.

The photo does have a date and printing service stamp.

March 24, 1944

Brown Photo Service

Minneapolis, Minn.

There’s snow in the background of the photo. I assume the photo was taken in the spring. Perhaps around Easter, the girl and her baby doll appear to be dressed up. Maybe they were heading out to church or dinner.

What do you see when you look at the image?

Father & Sons 1944

Posted on by Rebecca C.

This image was part of an estate sale. Unfortunately, I do not have any names or an exact location for this photo.

The image is stamped on the back with Brown Photo Service, Minneapolis, Minn., May 4, 1944.

I think the image is of a father with his two sons. Of course, one of his sons is in the military. The other one appears too young for the service.

The date stamp lets me know the photo was taken during WWII. I assume the military man was either home on leave or just entering his military service.

What is your opinion? What do you see when you look at the image? I would love to know the real story behind the photo. I also wonder if the young man came home safe after the war.

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

International Rock Day

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Did you know today, July 13th is International Rock Day? I love searching for rocks! I am always picking up interesting or brightly colored rocks. In fact, if you were to look at my dashboard in my car, I have a line of small rocks or stones on the ledge. I really can’t resist, a pretty rock.

In Michigan, one of my favorite places to search for rocks is Whitefish Point. The miles shoreline of Lake Superior produces beautiful, polished-looking rocks. If you are ever up that way, stop and spend time searching for the perfect rock for your collection.

Happy International Rock Day!

Until next time…peace always

Photo of the Day: Train

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I received this image in an auction win. Unfortunately I do not have any background information about the photo.

I am assuming the photo was taken around the late 1960s or early 70s.

In my opinion, the train looks like a road side attraction. If you look closely, you can see 3 children. One is just tall enough to see out the window. I actually noticed the waving hand before spotting the child.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace.

Photo of the Day: July 1964

Posted on by Rebecca C.

This photo was part of an estate sale that I purchased online. I do not have any information on the people in the photo.

I do have a date: July 1964

I am guessing the photo is part of a celebration. I believe the couple standing directly behind the cake is celebrating their 50th anniversary. I am basing my assumption on the golden candlesticks on both sides of the cake.

What do you think?

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
