I came across these photographs that I think are just beautiful.

The blog where I found these is by the same woman who blogs cakewrecks. I just loved these images.

The last photo in particular will stay with me for awhile.

This is the blog where she posted about it, and the link is to the photos themselves.

I don't know if you have seen some of the WPA work but I would love to purchase some

they had these great posters and such designed. I wish they would let someone like Hatch Show Print here reprint them and sell them - they were wonderful.

Texas Highways Magazine site has beautiful landscape & wildflower prints and they are not terribly

expensive.

I passed this on to friends today---we're having a very sad day up here in Alaska.

I saw that on the news tonight, extending my sympathy.

Interesting to see the early color photos. Color film was introduced in 1935.

Dawn, a friend of mine sent me this link. Images are historical/modern mix. Interesting.

I was noticing that too, Luisa. Did you see in photo 68

the boy in the middle with the clearest eyes, filthy hands and a paperclip chain on his belt. Loved that photo!
