Family Gathering

Another 50's era slide from Lot 4. This one showing what looks like a family gathering. No specific date stamp on this slide, but it was mounted in a slide frame identical to others (probably from the same roll of film) that had handwritten 50's dates. Also, the woman on the left, in the light blue dress will feature heavily in slides...

Fish Creek Pond, 1954

Another early picture. This one from 1954. Labelled "Fish Creek Pond"....

George H Swarts

With digital cameras I take the approach of shooting many shots, and then (usually) sorting out the good from the bad at a later point.

Little Birdies

This slide had the handwritten label "Old Spanish Monastery Garden - Dania Fla - F Robinson"....

Is she a Girl Scout?

Another in the set of backyard photos from the late 1950's. I don't know what to make of her clothes? Is it a costume? Is the green sash part of a Girl Scout uniform?...

Camp Lunch

These girls are enjoying lunch and each other in this slightly out of focus slide from the late 1950's. No date stamped on the slide, but it is part of a set of red slides from that era where some were labelled with a 1958 date....

Tidy Community

The classic red slide frame places this picture somewhere in the 50's. The topic places this somewhere tropical. Perhaps Florida...

The Husbands

Two men. Check back tomorrow for the women I guess to be their wives. ...

The Wives

These two ladies are likely the wives of the gentlemen seen yesterday. Presuming that the men took this photo, and the women yesterday, I think the women are the better photographers....
