This last week my sons and their wives have been near the water: but which one?
The Gulf of Mexico (or nearby swimming pool) for a new home for Barbara, Marty and Bev (sister to Barb).

Sharing with Sepia Saturday where some other folks are floating on some other waters!
Our host, Alan Burnett, says this:
I decided that for October we should have a general theme of "Going Places" but looking at my choice of theme image for this week - the last Sepia Saturday in September - it looks as though we have already started on our journey. Of course, you don't have to be going places - perhaps you are just sat in a boat going up and down on the waves and feeling slightly sea-sick. Equally, you don't have to stick to the theme - this is Sepia Saturday where anything goes as long as it is old and photographic. Whatever your contribution might be, contribute it on or around Saturday 27th September 2025 and add a link...
Wonderful collection of family photos. Take care, Happy Friday! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend (starts tomorrow) to you and your loved ones! (Including Minie of course!) I'll be late with critters this week.
DeleteI am impressed that you spotted that theme. Well done.
ReplyDeleteNot exactly rocket science.
DeleteAll that water! Not my fave. But they all look so happy, nice to see them.
ReplyDeleteYes, they do look happy. It warms A mother’s heart, of course
Delete!
A vacation spent by beautiful water, whether river or sea, is the best in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly isn’t a good idea and I have enjoyed it many times
Delete...water makes things wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt’s true and we are made out of it too!
DeleteWonderful places to be!
ReplyDeleteI’m so glad that they all got to enjoy it!
Deletelots of people having lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteIt was very fortuitous that everybody was able to enjoy water at the same time in so many different places!
DeleteI love being near water - canal, river, lake, sea, anything!
ReplyDeleteit is Mostly beautiful, except when there’s too much of it in the wrong place!
DeleteI too love being near water - river, loch or sea and you have given us some great examples of people enjoying themselves in or nesr water.
ReplyDeleteWhatever kind of water wasn’t so much my focus as the fact that my three sons were enjoying it in so many different places from Oregon and California to Florida and Italy!
DeleteI've always lived close to water. Nice family photos.
ReplyDeleteI guess I have lived near water most of my life also, but not directly Where I can see it On a daily basis,.
DeleteThe Gulf of Mexico is probably the calmest and warmest :-) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat swimming pool is gorgeous. I'd love swimming there. And I wonder which California beach that is? Northern? Central? Southern? Fun pix all & perfect for the prompt. :)
ReplyDeleteNice family shots.
