The MASKED Boy

Does anyone have any idea what this kid is supposed to be? I've never seen a mask like this. I'm thinking it must have been hot as hell to wear.

An AFTERNOON READ with Momma

My dad used to read to me every night when he was home. The first few years of my life he was gone a lot during the Korean war. Then for many years he was traveling making training films. But when he was home bedtime meant story time. I don't remember my mom reading to me, but she probably did.

I love this photo of the woman and child snug in the hammock on a summer day. Close your eyes and imagine the sounds of her voice and the birds in the trees, the feeling of a breeze lightly touching your skin, and the warmth of the child's body next to yours.

I was thrilled when I found this photo. It is featured in Tattered and Lost: The Quiet Art of Reading.

This my contribution to Sepia Saturday this week.

PATIENCE

I recently bought a series of vintage snapshots of nurses from long ago. Nurses dressed in uniforms that can only make today's nurses shake their heads in horror.

This is my submission to this week's Sepia Saturday theme of a sick child in bed. I give you the nurses who are there to make everything better.
