CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE. REPEAT IF REQUIRED.
On another beautifully sunny day we continued our recuperation indoors. Never mind, we could look out of the windows watching the light play about the garden.
I spent much of the afternoon retouching the scanned images of some rather speckled black and white negatives from friends Tony and Liz’s wedding in 1984. Sunlight was also dramatic on that day.
Apart from this photograph of Tony’s delightful stepdaughter, Cherie,
I have chosen to post only my own family members, beginning with Becky. I was intrigued by the light playing around the room as we gathered for the ceremony.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what Sam is thinking?
Jessica looks rather wistful here.
She is holding Louisa, and they are soon having fun; while Becky, reflected in the background,
enjoys a conversation with Cherie.
The little ones soon ended up on the floor.
I can’t remember what Louisa had done to her head. Maybe she had butted a jam jar. It hasn’t permanently spoiled her beauty. (Becky has provided the answer in her comment below).
This evening, for our dinner, Jackie produced roast pork, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, crunchy carrots, broccoli and runner beans, with perfect, tasty gravy,
The picture of Cherie is delightful. A lovely play of light through the lace curtains.
Many thanks, John
The curtains in the first photo look familiar Derrick – as does the way they allowed light into a room – I think I had mine in the 70’s though. I see you are both definitely on the mend judging by the menu. That’s good 🙂
Many thanks, Pauline. Well spotted 🙂
I enjoyed this post💕 http://www.misskymmiee.com
Thank you, MissKymmie
Very personal very lovely
Thank you, Osyth
Delightful pictures!Have a great week, Derrick! Best, Sofia
Thank you, Sofia
Sorry you’re both still not feeling well, but the family photos are great.
I think Sam looks like he was plotting a bit of mischief. 🙂
Thanks, Merril. Quite likely 🙂
🙂
These are beautiful photos, Derrick. Aw…poor little Louisa…but she’s still smiling. 🙂 I hope both you and Jackie are feeling better soon.
Thanks, Jill. We are getting there. Two quiet days has helped
Looks to me like Sam is thinking ” Why is that silly old bugger pointing the camera at me?” XD
Roast pork & Yorkshire pudding’s a new one on me. Always thought it was just roast beef & Yorksire pudding. Must have that gravy 😛
Thanks, Brian. Perfect speech bubble. Roast beef is the classic, but you can have Yorkshire with anything. You’d like the gravy
Those are very nice photographs. You can get some nice lighting effects with shadows.
Thanks very much, Bun
Lovely photos to accompany a pot roast dinner 🙂
Many thanks, Donna
So many wonderful moments captured here. Lovely.
Thank you, Miriam
Reflect beautiful memories… Lovely.
Many thanks, Amy
Beautiful light, beautiful family.
Thank you, Laurie
Very special lighting and highlights displayed in such a unique way. I have been taking photos of the light coming through my apartment “sheers.” The ripples and shadows are so pleasant from the sun.
Thanks very much, Robin
Lovely and fun. Perfect gravy…my goodness…!
Thank you, Cynthia G
Sam: Pleeeeese hurry up and take the picture. I have to pee!
Beautiful lighting. 😀
Good one Widdershins. Thanks
Louisa had fallen over while holding a cup and landed, face first, on it.
Many thanks, Becky. I thought you would know. I wasn’t far off with the head butt idea. XX
Glad your resting up!
Thanks, Lynn
Lovely photos. It didn’t strike me until now that these were all black-and-whites. What an attractive family! Sam, with his light hair and round little-boy cheeks, was such a delightful subject.
Thanks very much, Nicki
Loved the play of light in these black and whites. B&W always has such a beautiful impact when taken in the right way.
Thanks very much, Geetha
Most welcome Derrick 🙂
