Happy Earth Day

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Did you celebrate Earth Day? I was happy to spend time outdoors. I cleaned up the yard a little, took some photos, and planned where to put my flower gardens.

If you look closely, you can see the fish on tip of the pole. This Osprey was enjoying his meal.
The Vultures were snacking on roadkill. I got really close to them before they decided to move along. I laugh every time I see these birds. My mom loved them.

I hope you managed to get outdoors today.

Have you ever watch a Cormorant dive?

Happy Earth Day! Let’s work together for the sake of our planet.

Until next time…peace

Girls in the Snow

Posted on by Rebecca C.

The image doesn’t contain any identifying marks. Two girls posing behind the piles of snow. They seem happy and enjoying the outdoors. They look a little like sisters but I think they are best friends.

From the type of the photo and the style of clothing, I am guessing, the image was taken in the 1920s.

Two Men in Front of Signs

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I don’t have any information about the two men in the photo. However, I did look up the ads for more information.

I researched “Jeeps! I’d rather have a milk-nickel” which is a chocolate ice milk slogan. The ad was in place from 1934 to 1941. The dates match the style of clothing and photo type.

I wonder if the two men were part of the benefit. Or if they were just posing in front of the signs for the photographer.

A Vacation?

Posted on by Rebecca C.

The image did not have any identifying marks. Based on the clothing and type of image, I am placing the photo around the late 1940s.

I think the ladies are on vacation with a grandson. On the left, there looks like a monument.

Sisters? Best Friends?

Posted on by Rebecca C.

This image is from a recent estate lot. I don’t have an exact date. I am guessing the time frame is mid to late 1930s. I base this on the style of clothing and the type of photo. They look happy posing in the backyard or flower garden together. I wonder if they were dressed up to go somewhere special.

Soaking Up the Sun

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I like this photo. It’s simple. A man and his dog sitting on a porch rail. I am envisioning a warm, sunny day.

I don’t have any information on this photo. After searching through the estate lot, I noticed he is in many photos with other people. I am assuming the others are family members.

Unfortunately, I do not have a date. But I am guessing the photo was taken in the 1940s.

Working the Field

Posted on by Rebecca C.

As a farmer’s daughter, I cannot imagine working the fields with horses and hand tools. But I know that was the reality of farm work before tractors and other equipment were invented.

The photo shows two men clearing weeds or harvesting plants. I am not sure what they are holding. There is another gentleman in the background. He seems to be leading the team of horses.

I do not have any data on the photo.

An Airplane Project

Posted on by Rebecca C.

The image was part of an estate lot. Unfortunately, the auction seller did not have any information on the photos.

In the photo, this young man is extremely proud of his plane. I am guessing, he built the plane as part of a project, maybe for Scouts. I am putting this photo around the late 40s or early 50s.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace
