Sepia Saturday 523 : 6 June 2020

A wise man once said, "An image is a window to the soul" Well, OK, this is a bit of false news as it wasn't a wise man, it was me, and I only said it to myself a couple of minutes ago when I was trying to work out how to start this Sepia Saturday call. So we are looking into windows this week on Sepia Saturday: either at them or through them. Get out your old photos, copy them, write about them, blog them - whether you use a Mac or Windows. Once you have posted your post, add a link to the list below.

Whilst you are gazing out of the window, thinking what to do this week, you might want to consider what the next couple of theme image will be. Here they are.

Sepia Saturday 522 : 30 May 2020

We have to stay at home. We have to socially distance, we have to stay safe - so what on earth can we possibly do? We can go out and dig the garden, that's what we can do. Dig a big hole and plant something that will, one day, grow tall, strong and beautiful. And if you don't have a garden, or if it is raining - there is an alternative: you can search out your old photographs that may link - in some way or another - to this theme image, and share them. Share them on or around Saturday 30th May 2020 and add a link to the list below.

And whilst taking a rest from harvesting your special old photographs, why not take a look at what crops are around the corner. Here are the next two Sepia Saturday prompt images.

Sepia Saturday 521 : 23 May 2020

Our Sepia Saturday theme image this week features a pair of winners. You know they are winners because their car bonnet (hood) is covered in trophies. For those who wish to follow themes, there are many on show here: prizes, winners, trophies, waves, cars, bonnets and hoods. Whatever you decide to go with, go with it on or around Saturday 23 May 2020 and add a link to the list below. And if you don't win the prize this week, you can always start planning ahead for future competitions - here are the next two Sepia Saturday theme images.

Sepia Saturday 520 : 16 May 2020

You cannot imagine how much I wish I could emulate the Sepia Saturday theme image for this week: - a pint in the sun. The sun in question was the Sun Inn, a few miles north of Doncaster and the three men enjoy a lunchtime pint were work colleagues of mine. The empty chair and the half drunk pint were mine. For me, the image brings to mind memories of work friendships and good times. For you, it might prompt thoughts of cars, beers, or sunny days. Most of all, it brings back memories of when we could go out, mix with friends and enjoy a pleasant pint of beer in the sun (or, indeed, at The Sun). Whatever photography memories it might rekindle, rekindle them on or around Saturday 16th May 2020 and add a link to the list below.

Whilst you are sipping your imaginary pint in the imaginary Sun, you might want to take a look at what is around the corner on Sepia Saturday.

Sepia Saturday 519 : Saturday 9th May 2020

Sepia Saturday 518 : Saturday 2 May 2020

There can never be a moment more timely and appropriate to feature health care workers on our Sepia Saturday prompt image than now. We owe so much to doctors, nurses and care workers at the moment, but we always have had: it is just that it takes a serious emergency for us to remember it. This week, on Sepia Saturday I am asking you to feature your tributes to all of those who are keeping us safe at the moment by featuring your old photographs of carers of all types and all times. Just post your post on or around Saturday 2 May 2020 and add a link to the list below.

Here are the next two Sepia Saturday theme images:-
