Look at them, happy, smiling, no gray hair ...

... probably because I was more than thirteen years shy of becoming a teenager.

I just brought old photos from my old home country. I still have to go through them and scan them. But I love old family photographs. I guess that as we get older we turn to the past a bit.; 12:28 PM, April 27, 2013
bjkeefe said...: Oddly enough, most people have said I look like my mother. Not so much in that picture, though.

I sort of agree that we like looking at pictures of the past more as we get older, but I think I've always liked looking at old pictures.; 12:32 PM, April 27, 2013

Is the vacant lot they're standing in the future site of their/your house?

Proving you're not a robot sez: "appreciate weedor." Or what?; 2:00 AM, April 28, 2013
bjkeefe said...: Perhaps one reason old pix become more compelling as we get older is that we know more of the old people pictured.

That is not the future site of their/my house, no. They were at a wedding, in the Berkshires, I think. Lots of open space there, so that could well be the backyard of the house or other facility that the ceremony and/or reception was held at.

I presume you just answered ELSE!; 10:15 AM, April 28, 2013
