Usually, the turtles jump into the water when I approach. But this particular Painted Turtle was enjoying the sun too much. As if to pretend I wasn’t there, he (or she) just turned toward the sun. I bet I took over 100 photos of this turtle.
Until next time…peace
I know this photo is not the best image of this elderly couple. The old negative was damaged with lots of scratches. I cleaned the picture up to the best of my abilities.
Do I know this couple is actually holding their great-grandchild? No, I do not have any information. In the early years of photography, the photos marked special occasions. The couple does seem to be elderly, which is why I thought-great-grandparents.
What do you think?

Like most of my photos, I do not have any details on this image.
At first glance, I thought maybe the four men were posing after church services. They do resemble each other appearance. Which left me guessing, maybe they were getting together on Easter Sunday.
But I did notice, one of the women in the background is dressed all in black. Her appearance leads me to think the 4 men were attending a funeral. Do I know for certain, of course not?
What do you think?

Walk in the woods, stop, & listen. What do you hear?
The wind whispering through the trees creates a love song to Mother Earth.

Sometimes you just need to stand outside and watch the sunset. The vibrant colors always amaze me.

I love this photo. Of course, who am I kidding, I love most old images. I am assuming this photo was taken in the mid-1940s. I based my guess on the photo negative and the style of the couple’s clothing. If I am off, please let me know.
The one sign reads, “reserved for Seabreeze customers, ice-cold soft drinks, beer, groceries.”
The other sign reads, “live bait.” Obviously, the Seabreeze is near a fishing area. Perhaps, people can fish off the pier.
The couple, holding hands, appears to be headed towards the pier. I am guessing they are going to watch the ships go by or talk with the local fishermen.
When I research, Seabreeze hotel, I get numerous returns. I cannot pinpoint the exact location from this one photo. I am hoping as I continue through the remaining negatives from this particular lot. I will find more images related to this couple and the Seabreeze.
Do you have any guesses? I would love to know.
Until next time…peace
I took over 200 pictures of this tattered looking butterfly. I loved watching his tongue (I am sure there’s is a technical word) suck out the nectar from the thistle plants.
Until next time…peace
I really like this older photo. Of course, I do not have any facts or other information surrounding the image. All my input is simply guesswork.
The older gentleman is holding a small wicker basket. To me, the basket looks to be lined with a napkin or cloth, which was a common practice for fresh baked goods or other food.
In my opinion, de looks to be a hard-working man. With the silo in the background, I am assuming he is a farmer.
Now, he could have prepared the basket himself. Perhaps, he is attending a social event. After church picnics and other community social gatherings were common in the past.
Or perhaps, someone brought him a basket of baked goods as a gift.
Please let me know what you think of the image.
Until next time…peace
In my opinion, this image reminds me of an airplane factory tour. Perhaps, the men in suits are investors or members of the board.
Even after enlarging the photos, I do not view any identifying marks on the airplanes. If anyone knows what types of planes are in the image, I would love your input.
Tell me what you think of the photo?
Until next time…peace
Sometimes I get photos or negatives that I just wish I knew the story behind the image. This photo is one of them.
Yes, the image reveals men working. But I would love to know where the photo was taken. From viewing the style of clothing, the area seems to be in a warmer climate.
I have other questions too. What were they building? What are they carrying that is so heavy?
Tell me what you think of the photo. Do you have any ideas?
Until next time…peace
