Scribble

All snapshots live different lives. Some are stuck in books for decades, some are thrown in shoeboxes, and some are stuffed in wallets. These ones were in awful shape, all bent and creaked. On the back someone had used them to see if a ballpoint pen was working. And yet they have withstood the test of time. The scene they captured is what we imagine the past as. Fun outside in the backyard perimetered by a white picket fence, not a care in the world.

Glasses you could fry ants with

These glasses were the reason that the term "Coke bottle lenses" was invented. You can't even see her eyes, but that could just be the camera angle. Im guessing this was shot in a rural area, judging by the PVC pipe and pen in the background. I wonder how old she was. Definitely over 90, but how close to 100? Your guess is as good as mine.

Fresh Fruits!

A lovely photo of a small town crookery store, before huge chains like Sobey's or COOP. Outside with all its fresh bananas and watermelons. The sing says "Wise's Grocery -- 32----" Who knows where it is, but judging from all of the exotic fruits, probably not Canada.

A hardy meal

I just returned from vacation where I enjoyed many a great meal. Who knows if this was a special occasion, but the photographer must have wanted to capture something about it. Yum Yum!
