Moderators dtel Posted March 10, 2014 Moderators Posted March 10, 2014 Very cool you have your daughter in it. Thats one you will smile looking at 1 year or 20 years from now. Exactly, very nice pictures TheEvan, after visiting places like that it has got to change the way you see everything in what we call normal life. Quote
Moderators dtel Posted March 10, 2014 Moderators Posted March 10, 2014 Spring is almost in Indy! It's just a trick Amy, sorry but you will have to wait a little longer. But look at the bright side you can get a few more pictures of snow falling before the weekend. Quote
Moderators dtel Posted March 10, 2014 Moderators Posted March 10, 2014 Cool pic's Rick, and yes the view out the window of that bus was probably that distorted. Quote

kaiser SET say Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 A rare (heavy) snow storm at the Boxx domicile in Ovilla..... Beautiful place Boxx, Casa De Kaiser the blistering summer before last. Hard to keep it green watering twice a day! Quote

Schu Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I caught this double rainbow during the last rain here... here is the video... Schu, that is called a moonbow. There is a spot in Kentucy and 3 or 4 other spots around the world that have them with every full moon. All the spots are near waterfalls. I had no idea... I just got lucky. Quote
Schu Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Nice taste in rides Schu, this is my old '95 followed by my current '08 TY sir... I had to sell that r32 a couple years ago, and it was a sad day indeed to see it go. it only had 25k original miles on it and the buyer flew in to vegas to drive it home. needless to say, he was a happy camper.

JL Sargent Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 Gotta love old photographs. Especially ones with the family mule! This photo from approx. 1915, shows my grandmother center right in her early teens. 2 Quote
oldenough Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 JL, I was struck by the similarity of the young man holding the mule, and the older gentleman with the baby. there can be no doubt that they are father and son. Quote

Yeah, That young man was an interesting character. SR he was called. Unfortunately he passed at an early age. EDIT: Talked to my dad and it was his son that died at an early age in a car wreck. I just love this photograph though. It's a classic example of photography at the time and it was executed so well by the photographer. I was tempted to lower exposure and up the sharpness with software but I just couldn't mess with it LOL. Edited March 11, 2014 by JL Sargent Quote
Moderators Amy Posted March 11, 2014 Moderators Posted March 11, 2014 This isn't the great setting of the farmhouse with mule (so classic), but this could be the oldest photograph we have preserved in my family. Great-great-great-great grandma, dated 1856. I haven't tackled touching it up yet. I kind of like the oldness look of it, anyway. I actually have a few images of great-greats from the late 1800s. I love that my family kept them all these years... it's interesting to see how photography has changed - some are on hard coated glass instead of paper. I think it's nerdily cool, anyway. 2 Quote
JL Sargent Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 Great photo Amy! Pretty lady. Folks were tougher back then. Look at her hands. Is her pinky finger gone? Quote
