I had a certain sort of romanticized feeling in mind and wasn't sure how to get there so it's good to hear it succeeded in producing a new story from the unknown one of old. My own mother has pitched scads of photos because she didn't recognize people in them...I'm sorry I didn't get my hands on them!

So many people want to toss out their old pictures because they don't know the people in them, but it's the stories that we can make up or that are provoked in our own memories that are of real interest...to say nothing of the details revealed about the styles of the time, the hardship or comfort of the people glimpsed.

There is something very sweet about not knowing the subjects, the relationships, the history ... it allows us to play with possibilities and construct our own story. Your image reminds me of how folks would add watercolours to a b&w photo.<br /><br />Okay ... now my mind has latched on to that sweet ditty sung to dilly, dilly! :)<br /><br />Bonnie Zieman, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00282469017360136275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427112744798953361.post-41266076875390892572013-11-03T14:13:43.201-04:002013-11-03T14:13:43.201-04:00Hi Lynne!

I remember it from childhood but don't know from where or when.<br />I like the colours you've used,faded 1920s. Interesting car in the background,looks quite large and expensive.
