I spy...

Still going through old photos as I prepare for Dad's funeral and came across this one I took in September 1986 of my parents on the Isles of Scilly. Scan of a print taken on my old OM10. This one always made me smile.
What a lovely photo this is xx

Such a lovely shot of your parents enjoying and exploring on their holiday. Nicely scanned from your OM10 - My 1st "proper " camera was an OM20 !! Fav.

I wonder what they were spotting. They look well equipped!
My first proper camera was an om1! @beryl

Very beautiful photo and a must to keep close to your heart. From this picture I think there is a lot of resemblance between you and your mum.

A great photographic memory to have.

Awesome pic! You inherited your love of photography from both parents I suspect.

@kvphoto No, just my Dad. Mum has never really taken many photos nor had the interest. I take after him in many ways ❤️
March 3rd, 2026  
@casablanca I too take after my Dad and he loved photography… I thought I saw a camera strapped around your Mum’s neck in this shot.

@kvphoto You did indeed, well done. Her Olympus Trip. He often tried to get her interested in photography, but she wasn't really. However his daughter caught the passion! It was lovely to have that to share.

How emotional for you to be posting this photo…….so many memories even in this one photo! It’s a very interesting photo, I wonder who took it!
March 3rd, 2026  
A lovely photo. I like @onewing had the phrase “I see no ships” going through my head too.
March 3rd, 2026  
@happypat I did! It is in the narrative above.
March 3rd, 2026  
A nice capture of both parents in their element
March 3rd, 2026  
This made me smile!!

an OM10 , what a beautiful camera that was / is .
There's so much to like in the photo Casa' , the retro film colours, your dad's camera gear and accessories , his "on trend 2026 shoes" , your mum looking very much like you and possibly with an Olympus trip camera . I wonder what they were looking at ?

I'm so sorry I've not been up to date with you! I saw a comment on Issi's picture and came here. You're in my thoughts; to say that last goodbye is a tough one. I'm sorry.

Photographing family. Nice memory image to have.

I can see where you caught your looks and your talent.
March 4th, 2026  
Special 😊

Such a fabulous memory to treasure
March 4th, 2026  
What a treasure to have, can't believe how vintage the 80s look, wasn't that just yesterday?
March 4th, 2026  
Such a lovely memory to have
March 4th, 2026  
I still look back on pictures from my father and mother- when my mother passed putting up photos wasn't a "thing" yet but for Dad we had some nice mementos and pictures. This one is so sweet- with them both lined up and viewing "whatever". I hope the photos and memories are comforting.
