Merry Christmas

Pic-of-The-day - "Christmas Tree".

Christmas in the very early 70's. There's a a peddle cart on the left of the photo in the form of a horse & cart. That toy has been around as long as I can remember. Until I found this photo I never really thought of where it came from, but it wasn't a surprise it's from an early Christmas.

Pic-of-The-day - "The Old Days".

M&K in the decorations in front of the old flower shop.

The sleigh's been sold, the shop's been sold (& flattened).
The kids are still around, but they look a little different now.

 Pic-of-The-day - "Original Jack-O-Lantern".

Its' said that the first Jack-O-Lanterns where made from turnips, mangles and the like.
When I get the chance I like to make a jack from a turnip. Every time I  try it I soon  remember how much more difficult they are to carve than pumpkins. Which is why the designs are so simple. This particular turnip is from 2008.

PoTd - August 9

Pic-of-The-day - "Smoke Stack".

Back in the olden days (when I was a kid)  it was brick right to the top & I swear you could see it all over the neighbourhood. Also smoke used to come out of it, real smoke with colour and everything.
Obviously that was not a good thing (pumping poison particulate into the air)  but , I do get surprised by the subtle changes in everyday life that you don't notice until you think about how things used to be. How things can change so completely with out us seeming to notice until we focus on the past.

Too Early for Summerfolk?

I'm planning to post old sumemrfolk photos (1997 -2010) online before the 3rd weekend in August. After collecting Summerfolk photos from old folders on old hard drives & copying them all to one location it was time to start sorting.

Sorting out 97-99 into individual years is going to be somewhere between difficult & impossible. I may end up dividing them in  some other way other than chronologically. 

It's fun to see some of the old pics and how things (& people) have changed, but it's amazing how little some things have stayed the same.

So far I've gotten through about 500 & there's still more to get through & then the daunting task of sorting out those early years.

Once there all sorted & ready to go I'll make another post & then the photos will be posted to Flickr in small (ish) batches each day leading up to this years summerfolk.
