Grampa G - Sunday Scans


Al over at "Al's Photography Blog" is starting a new meme!
It's called Sunday Scans, and will be for all photos scanned ... they can be old prints or slides, or even new scanned shots if you still shoot on film.

This is going to be so much fun!
Now we will have a place to share these wonderful old photos ... other than in a box, drawer, or dusty photo-album-on-a-shelf!

Oh yeah, about the photo ... this is one I found in a box of pictures from one of Grampa and Grandma G's many adventures on the road. Since they traveled all over the US, Canada, and Mexico for many years ... this could have been taken nearly anywhere, at any time.

Maybe the car is a clue???

Reflections of a Bridge ... Weekend Reflections


This is another of Grandma G's pictures from a road trip she and Grampa G. took back in 1981. I don't know where this picture was taken ... and since they traveled through at least 5 Western US states, it could pretty much be anywhere!

But I can still appreciate the beauty of the reflections ... no matter where or when they were found!

Old Photo - electrical hearts!


In January of 1980 ... several years before they welcomed me into their family ... Grampa and Grandma G took a trip from Oregon to Arizona, with many stops in between.


At one of the campgrounds, they took pictures of this electrical box ...
Probably because it scared them!


But guess what ... up in the corner of the photo ... I spied a pair of ...
Electrical Hearts! Do you see them?

Old Photo - Shadow Shot Sunday


I found this shadowy picture in an old photo album packed away ...
Grampa and Grandma G.
They must have been fascinated with this bird - there were several shots of it.

January, 1980 - Two years before they came into my life, they went on a trip - from their home in Oregon to Arizona - with many stops along the way.

They loved to travel. I miss them so much.
