Easter Sunday 1966 by Weezilou

Easter Sunday 1966

In thinking of what to photograph today, I thought to get out an old album and throw some textures and colors on an Easter picture from yesteryear... I was surprised when I pulled this out to see it was a Polaroid, my mother's favorite camera at the time. My computer is not presently hooked up to the scanner, so I took a photo of this and it struck me...

"Old Polaroid"...that's one of those apps we use to give vintage age to a picture...and this has it all, just as is... Now to pick one and put the rest of my family in the Vintage Spotlight :) ( http://365project.org/Weezilou/album-excess/2015-04-03 )

Happy Easter Dearest Friends...
A delightful picture with nary a sense of old-fashioned except the photo itself.

What a wonderful capture of yesteryear. That's the beauty of photos, to be able to relive events.

@anazad511 In that particular old album, wow...what a lot of memories! Pretty nifty :)

What a lovely photo of you Louise, quite elegant in the composed way you are sitting

Lovely !! You shine like the sun shining on you.

SO much fun looking at old photos!! We did it this past weekend when we were in Banning with my cousins...... Lot of chuckles.

@kelly2 @jocee ♥ (thanks) @aglennc Thank you all! I had an entirely different idea in mind when I opened the album, but my three today will do nicely, thank you!

Oh, my God, you are so, SO adorable!! And, blonde.....who would have known?!! What a trip down memory lane! And, that is exactly why we take pictures.....to capture that moment in time and remember it vividly, even when memory fades!

@panthora yep...I loved reliving the photo memories in the album I seldom look through anymore! (It's one of 40 on a tall shelf in my closet! Good thing we've gone digital!) And blonde...that was the ONLY time in my life I changed the color of my hair, and it was only for about 3 months...probably the thinnest I'd ever been, too... Oh to have arms and legs like that again!

Gorgeous image of a lovely lady! Old photos are great fun to browse through!
April 3rd, 2015  
How wonderful to have all the photos from yesteryear to go through. You look so elegant
April 3rd, 2015  
You know I have to love this. :-). Happy Easter weekend!!
April 3rd, 2015  
LOVE IT!!! :) As you know, I so enjoy looking at old pictures....bringing back memories!! :)

We had a Polaroid for a time as well. Very pretty young lady and easter dress!
April 3rd, 2015  
Gorgeous shot from memory lane! Now you are giving me ideas to do when winter hits here! happy Easter :)
April 3rd, 2015  
Really makes me think back to times when I was much younger. :)
April 3rd, 2015  
Pretty girl, beautiful soul :)
April 4th, 2015  
This is so beautiful! And that dress is fantastic!

You know Louise, as we mature, it is fun to look back, and it doesn't seem near as long ago as it really is. It seems more like yesterday. A great photo!

@digitalrn Oh true true, Rick! I recall that when my dad turned "50" I wrote him a poem about being a half century old! That seemed ancient to me at the time! Now...(shudder) this photo of me in my teens...egad, no...21!... is nearly 50 years old! How convoluted "Time" is and oh the tricks it plays! Happy Easter, m'friend!
April 4th, 2015  
Is this you Louise. Lovely young woman. I loved Polaroid also...so fun to see the photo right away. Now look how far we have come!! Fun vintage shot and love they way you have presented it.
April 4th, 2015  
Right back there at first blush! Thank you for that! Narrative makes it a fav
April 4th, 2015  
I really love how you processed this. I must remember this when editing old photos. You look so pretty! FAV.
April 4th, 2015  
lovely young woman who has grown up with wisdom and talent. wonderful capture
April 4th, 2015  
What a lovely picture of you Louise, so slim and elegant.

What can I saw but, "THAT was unexpected!" Thank you all! I never go into this thinking about "trending..." or "popular..." so I'm quite surprised when it happens, and it's not always the one I think you'd like. I can only share that now, I realize how much of that inner girl is still with me, but the shell has changed significantly. (I now would be "the blind date" of whom one would say, "She has a nice personality...") You're all very sweet... Happy Easter and I hope you'e enjoying your weekend!

@Weezilou - I thought it might be you but was hesitant to say something and find out I was wrong. Louise, we all change on the outside we have no control over that. We do have control over the person we are on the inside. I have a strong feeling that your are one of those people who hasn't allowed the ups and downs of life to change this young lady except for the better! Happy Easter!

@skipt07 What a thoughtful comment and a very kind one, Skip. I've had my battle scars, but if we accept that as honing and polishing, we know we're not alone in this world; it happens to everyone. I've had a fortunate life in that I'm content with what comes my way and for that I've grown happier every year. Hoping it's the same for you and your, Skip... Happy Easter to you, too :)
April 5th, 2015  
Yay for you, Louise!! Reciprocity, dear Lady. You get what you give, no doubt. Let the inner girl enjoy!
April 5th, 2015  
@kevin365 For once I'm a bit speechless...thank you! "The Inner Child" has been entertaining herself today with Easter baskets and photo fun... Stop by when you're free after tomorrow for my Easter card...silly fun...

Lovely photograph.( Reminds me on that time and the songs of Buddy Holly) Not the pic. is lovely , the girl on the pic. is. She steal`s the show.
April 6th, 2015  
What a babe! Man, I have missed visiting with all of my friends on 365. Sorry to have been a no-show for such a spell. I'm back now!......for a bit.
April 8th, 2015  
@stray_shooter Well, "thank you"... that may be the last time in my lifetime I'll hear someone say that! (Who was that girl? It's certainly been a long time!) We're set for Sunday...
April 8th, 2015  
Such a wonderful photo! No filters needed here. A beautiful lady you are!
