Sepia Saturday: My Baldings at the beach...

[dee_burris]

Thanks to the fastidious nature of my grandaunt, Ruth Balding, I have some photos with identification, and ~gasp~ even dates.

Head over there for more wonderful old photos and postcards.

ETA: I've received several comments from people about the first photo of my grand aunt, Ruth Balding.

I've written a follow-up about that photo alone, here.

Dee, that first photo is fabulous! She has great style. I love her simple dress with the loose waist, how she's holding it up just a little, and I love her longish jacket with the tie pulled to the back. Not to mention her pose. As I look at photos on blogs I'm often surprised at what photos were taken. This is gorgeous photo of such a simple action. Love it!
