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
I probably spend way too much time photographing spiders, insects, etc. But watching this mama spider was intriguing.
I believe she is a Wolk Spider. But I am not positive.
What do you think?
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
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?

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?

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.
