Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt, April 28th
This week's theme is "Rare." If you want to check out others' take on the subject, click here. 
I love this picture of my grandmother and her friends, taken back in the 1940s. My Grandmother Betty is the one on the right. She was in college at this time, before she even met my grand-dad. She grew up in Maryville, TN, and she went to Maryville College. Don't they look like they're having fun in their bathing suits? Those rebels!I think this fits the theme of "rare" today, because as time goes on the pictures and memories will be more and more rare. My grandmother passed away on Sept. 11, 2001---just a coincidence it happened THAT day. Once someone is gone, you know there are no more photos to be made---making the ones you have a rare and precious treasure.
Please go look at my photo blog---Project 363---I've been working hard on a GREEN WEEK of pictures and just posted a Tabblo of B's softball.
Next week's theme is Childhood! I have some fun things for that one! ;-)

Such a wonderful treasured photo..I love seeing the syles from back then and you're right, they were probably considered "rebels" for wearing those bathing suits! lol Have a wonderful weekend!!

Excellent photo. While I was looking at it I notice the old Coke sign to the left. Now that would definitely be a rare sign to own.
Great entry.
:)

That photo is so nostalgic: there will never be times like that again. They were so beautiful, and the era was so romantic and free of the cares we have now.

I was just telling a friend of mine about those pictures. I always think about them when I am in my bathing suit. No matter what just smile and remember that some day you will look back on those younger days and think, "Wow, I looked pretty good!"
