Mystery Photos from the Past


More snaps from the same cache, but this time there were no labels. I just liked these without knowing who these people were. This natty little boy caught my eye. Is that a banana tree in the background?


My mother and a friend? Could be. But I like the picture for its randomness and the two pelicans--a kind of an art film feeling to it.


This is such an unexpected pose--I wish I knew who the happy baby was. And how I admire the fond mother's ability to hunker!

A scooter (?) built for two. Again, it could be my mother. Or not. She's very serious, whoever she was.

What a shame that you can't identify them! Is anybody still alive who might know? They must be family. Otherwise, you wouldn't have them.

Nope--no close family left on that side. My mother was an only child. I do have scrapbooks from that time with labelled pictures. I might be able to find matches--given enough time.

Yes, an identified banana tree! Most enjoyable group of young people...and amazing mom in those gorgeous heels...which someone could probably figure out the date from.

Very cute photos capturing a time period. Too bad no labels.

I rather like the shoes in the third image. But yes, hard to adopt that pose in heels!
