Caption this!

This one is so fascinating!  There are 5 adults and one child in this somewhat odd vintage black and white photo postcard.

Three of the ladies are in elaborate hats.  Notice, there is one man in the back.  The child looks a bit off - like maybe her head is about to spin.  The back lit glare of the sun looks like the "ghost" images found in some photos. 

What do you think of this bunch?  What's their story?

  1. A wonderful picture. I like the laughing, funny lady at the left and the little girl in the front, who didn't want to be on the photo but climbing trees. They look like a family of pioneers who had a lot of fun in their lives. Happy PFF.

  3. What a great card! Maybe they are having a picnic in the country and all are thinking in their own way to get the photography session over and the picnic started. Happy PFF
