Picnic in the Woods

This photo was taken by me over 30 years ago and I enlarged and framed it because I loved several elements in it;
1) We both look young!
2) It has 3 of our Miniature Pinschers in it - Tom and Tessa and daughter Katie
3) The woods we were in were my dream of what woods should be like to picnic in.
The sunlight shone through the trees to spotlight our rug!
The glass has some refections on it which added to the dreamy effect, I thought

[davide]

Love this: I guess it's such a full of good memories moment captured in that frame! thanx for sharing this with us

[Maggiemae]

@woot The original picture was full of color but over the years it has faded! Sepia seemed to be a good option!

[8yearson]

That's so lovely Maggie! I love how old photos gradually develop that really golden all over glow, it's hard to imagine we were that young way back then!

[Sharon]

What a lovely photo and thanks for sharing the memory. Sounds like the perfect picnic.

[Kim]

This is a PERFECT example of why I pick up my camera daily. I want to have these types of beautiful memories captured as well. LOVE this! :)

[Leslie]

forever young so true
bet it seems like yesterday

[Bill Ososki]

Thanks for sharing. The image seems to capture a time much older than you. Maybe the 1920's. Nice nostalgia!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

It's very dreamy. The sepia really adds to that. In the future " old pics" just won't look so old since they will be sharp and in color. I guess someone may invent some moving picture that might take the still picture's place...so then today's pics would look "old"

@espyetta I like your comment, Mary! @espyetta
