Sharing downloaded photos and up-to-date ones!

 

I loved this mural being painted.  Sorry, don't know who took the photo!

This has been around for a while...with a hawk sitting on her glove! She does represent a girl with a fierce wild heart! I wonder what the first line (above the edge of the saved photo) said.

One of my favorite old post cards of the intersection of US 70 (State St.) and NC 9 (Montreat Rd.) in the center of Black Mountain NC.

And of course the most fun is to take a new photo today to compare!

 

Maybe if I drive a bit further...

Now you have a clear view of Tyson's furniture with all the blue awnings on the left (where the Auction house used to be.) And right in front of you is Town Hardware.

After trying to find parking to try out the new Cuban restaurant (no luck) I drove down the next main road, Sutton St. It passes the Depot, and this relatively new store, Sassafras on Sutton. Their name is somewhere on the door that's open. I went with a friend a few weeks ago and saw the upstairs, which is devoted to children's games and books. Downstairs has lots of books and fun gift items. I love that store!

OK, one more (or maybe two) old photo to remind me that this is shared on Sepia Saturday!

Hill County Courthouse, Hillsboro, Texas...photographer unknown. I would imagine my ancestors Booth (especially the several attorneys) would have been familiar with this building.

I do have some great early photos of my father, whose birthday was last week. Check the sepia ones I posted HERE. 

And one of my grandmom holding her first son, (born April 6, 1906) while wearing her wedding dress! I always love the sense that she had gotten back into shape enough to put on her wedding gown following having a child.

The prompt photo this week is of a nurse and children.
