Animals from old photos

 
Mostly mules and a donkey...unknown place with covered wagons about to set out for some great opportunities.






"Down in Breckenridge, Texas, Where Horses Ride in Fords."







How families traveled, and must wonder what's in the kegs!




Not particularly welcoming group of riders on bridge.



A trolly pulled by mule power, I hink.


An orange stand (I think) next to a rather dilapidated old house. Another horse drawn wagon.


Traveling circuses always depended upon elephant power to raise tents, and have a big parade!


A small carriage pulled by a horse.

This photo of the same building from Google Earth...I'm guessing in Florida or south Texas, perhaps Galveston.


I started out with a wagon train, so let's finish as this one winds its way along the side of a mountain. It looks like oxen are pulling multiple wagons.


Sharing with Saturday's Critters.

Today's quote:

Don’t plan it all. Let life surprise you a little.

  5. The orange stand is very interesting and I love the last photo. These are all neat and it would be fun to know all the stories that go with them.

    1. Oh that is a great idea...to make a story to go with them, since we've kind of lost what the real stories might have been for all those people.

  6. I love seeing all these old photos. The last one of the wagon train is amazing, not much road to make a mistake on. People lives were much harder back in those days. Thanks for sharing these old beauties.

    1. So glad you enjoyed seeing these. I obviously didn't take them, sort of borrowed from the internet of all free things!
