A Proud Dad

I’ve been scanning some of my old photographs to keep for posterity.

I have thousands of prints and negatives that I would like to scan. So it is proving a very slow task.

Here are a few piccies that I have scanned recently. These are quite dusty and damaged because we had them in a frame.

They were taken on a frosty morning about 22 years ago.

This is E our eldest (who is not quite 24 now).

The night before a bowl she had been playing with had been left out on the grass with some water in it.

To E’s amazement there was a layer of ice on the water when she got up in the morning.Look Mum!You can see through it!
It’s crunchy!Dad, will you take it? My fingers are cold!

Hi Rayna,
Kids are a delight at that age, and pretty much any time they are extending their universe.

Hi Kitty,
Thank you. She was amazed by the ice. Even now she is amazingly expressive. You always have a pretty good idea of what E is thinking just by looking at her face.

Hi Christine,
I think these are some of my favourite photos. They captured E beautifully.

Hi Sarah,
I agree – cute!

Hi Indigo,
Happy you liked them. She certainly gave me some worthwhile piccies.

Hi Jaydee,
I love old piccies. Thank you pleased you liked them.

Hi Shannon,
Glad you liked them.

Hi Jemi,
Thanks. She was darned cute wasn’t she?

Hi Myrna,
Kids are can be fun, or a handful, or both at the same time!
You are welcome, and she was adorable (mind you I guess she still is).

And I'm sure all the time and effort are worth it to preserve these photos!

Al said...

Hi DJ,
She was and is a sweetheart. E swears she can remember the day.

Hi Wendy,
Isn’t memory wonderful. Simultaneously a joy and a bitter-sweet reminder of time flashing past.

Hi Jenners,
She was damn cute!
All the effort is certainly worthwhile.

Hi Lisa,
She certainly was cute.
It was a beautiful series off piccies,and it is a joy to have caught her learning about the world.

Amanda said...
