Sepia Saturday February 8

For this week's Sepia Saturday the prompt image is a street scene with plenty of snow.

Snow is in the news in the eastern USA but is not affecting me in the midwest USA. So it's off to American Memory at the Library of Congress to find some images of snow.

 

Snow scene, with a man and women in a horse-drawn buggy in front of a house, Kearney, Nebraska.

 

This image is from Prairie Settlement. "This digital collection integrates two collections from the holdings of the Nebraska State Historical Society, the Solomon D. Butcher photographs and the letters of the Uriah W. Oblinger family. Together they illustrate the story of settlement on the Great Plains. Approximately 3,000 glass plate negatives crafted by Butcher record the process of settlement in Nebraska between 1886 and 1912. Butcher photographed actively in central Nebraska including Custer, Buffalo, Dawson and Cherry counties."

 

This must have been a chilly ride!  Note the large hat worn by the lady.

 

Please visit other Sepians and see what has snowed down on everyone.

Sunday Stamps # 51

The last Sunday Stamps of the old year - first Sunday Stamps of the new year. My suggested theme was new beginnings, or anything you wish. When have I ever seen a stamp with 'beginnings' as a theme? What was I thinking of? So my 'anything you wish' stamp is a winter one:

from our friend in philately, Finland.  I like this colorful and evocative image of snow on rooftops.  No snow here in the Midwest of the USA though.

It's a holiday but I hope you can join us with a stamp of anything you wish.

Theme next week will be anything you wish also, until I can get my planning for the year somewhat done!
