To join Sepia Saturday, you don't need to ask, you don't need to apply. Just post an old photograph and add a few words of explanation. Once you have your post up, add a link to that specific post to the weekly Linky List on the Sepia Saturday Blog. Oh, and 'Old" is what you want it to be.
She no doubt was a legend about town. Great photo!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first bike I've seen this week that has a guard on its chain. I was always in trouble for getting oil on my trousers!
ReplyDeleteHi Eugenia! What a lovely photo. I really like your blog, and am your newest follower. Thanks for joining us on S.S. today, and for visiting me.

DeleteShe Looks Really Impatient To Get Going Again!!
ReplyDeleteAnd look at the shadows , nice. Happy to visit you.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Sepia Saturday. Angelica has this "hurry-up-with-your-camera-I-need-to-go"-look in her eyes.
ReplyDeleteShe does! Ha!
DeleteShe must have been a whiz at whizzing.

All the lovely bicycle photos this week has made we wish I'd ridden a bike as an adult like my three adult children do.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes- go woman on bike- and ride like the wind! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting first contribution to Sepia Saturday, thank you. Where was it taken, I wonder? Those robust shutters are telling!
ReplyDeleteHello Brett! Glad you liked it - it was taken in Road Town, Tortola but not sure of the year - maybe the 1940s?
DeleteGreat to have you as part of Sepia Saturday Eugenia. It is a small world indeed, for I suspect we know many of the same people in the BVI. Roger Burnett is my brother, Diana Wheatey is just one of my nieces and nephews on the island.
ReplyDeleteHi, Alan! Wow, it IS a small world! I do certainly know Roger though I haven't set eyes on him for many a year! Do tell him 'hello' for me - I have one of his books, you know.
ReplyDeleteLove that pic. And her hair!!! Too cute! There is a hop I think you might be interested in joining. Here is the link http://littlepocketbooks.blogspot.com/2013/02/sign-ups-black-history-month-blog.html
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo. A little slice of life in a different time.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Sepia Saturday.

A super photo for our Sepia theme and I think I have Angelica's bicycle in my basement! She has a proper British ladies bike with fenders and enclosed chain. But about 10 years ago in the middle of the night, someone abandoned this exact bicycle in front of my house. It is a Raleigh 3-speed in black which dates by the serial number to 1952. How a vintage British bicycle would get to the mountains of North Carolina is more a mystery than how Angelica would acquire one, now that you reveal where she is, but it's fun for me to recognize such details in a vintage photo.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for that info, Mike, because I'm clueless as to bikes. When Bob (above) mentioned the guard on the chain, I squinted at the photo to try to understand what he meant (and figured out it was that thingy by her foot). I once had a bike, myself, but I think I was about eight or nine - I remember it because it was very pretty - pink with a white basket in front threaded through with plastic flowers.
DeleteI am so late getting around to visit blogs and everybody has prety much said it all but good to see you here on sepia saturday! She does look like hurry up and finish with this photo taking.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the welcome, Kristin. Everyone has been very warm and welcoming!
