This image was from an estate lot. In my opinion, they are playing horseshoes. I imagine this is a family gathering or perhaps a reunion in a park.
I am guessing the image is from the early 1950s. I base this on the type of image and the style of clothing.
The person sitting on the log is either watching the game closely or bored.
What do you think?

I took a backroad home from town. I was driving slowly. I knew I had seen something in the ditch. So, I stopped my car to look. My dad was with me. We kept searching but didn’t see anything at first.
Then, this crane’s head popped up just above the ditch line. I think he was telling me, “Yes, you saw me, now go on your way.” He did not seemed bothered by our presence. Other than the fact, that we were disturbing his food search.

The photo is a digital copy of an old slide. I purchased a large lot through an auction. I have slowly been going through them.
This slide did not have any information. However, some of the other slides mention Hawaii. I am assuming this photo was taken there. What do you think?
Do you think it looks like Hawaii? Let me know in the comments.
Until next time…peace
Did you have a fun-filled Labor Day weekend? I stuck close to home. I worked on photos, writing, and housework. I know, an odd combination.
I did go for a ride. I came across these beautiful Turkey Vultures. The one kept opening his (or her) wings. I believe the bird was trying to soak up the sun.
I am fascinated with these birds. My mom use to love them. She said, they were so ugly, they were beautiful. Of course, I find everything in nature has a touch of beauty.
Well, have a good night.
Until next time…peace
Happy September 1st everyone! Where did our summer go?
I am still working on the slides I purchased from an auction. I really like this slide. Everyone seems to be happy. I wonder if they were traveling together. Or perhaps, one couple was traveling to meet up with the others. I just wish I had names for the people in the image.
Have a great month!
Until next time…peace
Today is Lake Superior Day. I am from Michigan. I did not know this day existed. But, I love visiting the shorelines of Lake Superior, especially at White Fish Point.
Whitefish Point was one of my mom’s favorite destinations. She loved looking through all the rocks. To me, the place is just beautiful.
Do you have a favorite place to stop on the shores of Lake Superior? Let me know in the comments!
Until next time…peace
The photo titled, “Loading Pineapples in Hawaii” is part of a new lot. I recently won 3 boxes of negatives, slides, old films, and miscellaneous equipment from a local online auction. All came from the same owner. I was actually disappointed with myself for not bidding on the other lots.
Anyways, the owners were definitely travelers. I cannot wait to go through all the images.
Have a fantastic day!
Until next time…peace
This image actually has a little information on the back. Written in two different colored inks. First, in black ink, the date is April 29, 1941. Next in blue are the names Mom & Pop Schmidt.
There is also a Kodak Processing stamp on the back with the location of Kansas City, MO. I rarely get that much information on one small photo.
The couple are drinking a beer. I tried to enlarge the image to read the label. But I cannot quite tell what kind of beer they are consuming. I did notice there were flowers in the background. I wonder if they are toasting a happy occasion like an anniversary.
What do you see when you look at the photo?
Until next time…peace
I enlarged this photo to view the license plate on the back of the truck which reads South Dakota 50 or 1950. The image does not have any identifying marks.
The older boy is sitting on a new bike. I wonder if the bicycle was a gift for a birthday.
The image is typical life at this time. I see a small flower garden to the right. There are clothes hanging on the line to the back left of the photo.
The younger boy’s pants are clearly too large, indicating second-hand clothes or hand-me-downs from his older brother.
What do you see when you look at the image?
Until next time…peace
The writing on the back of the photo is not about the couple but the photographer.
It reads: “Mr. Hogan took this – he is minus one eye and one arm – yet drove to New York and looks good.”
Now, I just need to know about the couple.
Until next time…peace
