This post is almost a couple of months old, but on the back of ‘Generations #2’ it is timely to reblog I think. And I love the photo-I often wonder what kind of life Mary went on to have .
Separated by generations, from each other, and from you. And time that yellows this paper fades the memory of us, too. In our yearning and our striving spent so quickly, we did leave behind our youth and our glory, and came soon to a place to grieve.
Definitely an interesting photo. I wonder what the dog was looking at…

The first time this was posted L.Marie and I couldn’t decide if there was a bird in that cage. I like to think there was.

The professor gives it his approval. There does seem to be something in the cage. Let’s make it a bird.

Well the cage is way too small for a jackdaw. So maybe the archetypal singing canary. Perhaps the old dog was too deaf to hear it. Maybe Jasper too. But Mary-I’m sure Mary danced.

Did you name them or is that true?

That is their real names-the line I put underneath the photograph came with it.

That’s pretty neat. It does make the mind wonder.

I love this photo. It says so much about the relationship between Mary and–was that her grandfather? I’m trying to remember. I have to laugh at the Professor’s question about the dog. 🙂

Yes, Grandfather Jasper. I love this photo too-as much as that one in my A Sense Of Absence post in Whitby, where we connect with that girl in the crowd who has spotted the camera. And a good point by the Professor-the poor dog was overlooked by moi.
Got a couple of other old photographs coming up in a pending post-two ‘firsts’. A comical one, and an intriguing one.

I love the old photographs, and the emotions they evoke. I did a post on them-A Sense Of Absence on April 30th if you want to check that out. In the meanwhile-thanks for your visit and comment.
