SEPIA SATURDAY 408 : 3 MARCH 2018

'Big Mac' Caddy Master and caddies at Shaughnessy Golf Club - February 1921

GROUPS : CAPS : GOLF : BOOTS

Our prompts for March 2018 all come from the Flickr Commons stream of the Vancouver Public Library Historical Photograph Collection. The prompt this week is a fine group photograph from the 1920s of "caddies at Shaughnessy Golf Club". As always, you are free to hit the theme in any direction and take as many shots as you like - all you have to do is to post your post on or around Saturday 3rd February 2018 and add a link to the list below.

Whilst you are waiting for your turn to take a shot, you might want to contemplate the next couple of Sepia Saturday prompts.

LIFE AFTER FACEBOOK

Just a quick note to explain how I hope to keep you all informed about new Sepia Saturday prompts following the closure/archiving of our Facebook Group. Each week I will send an announcement out to all my existing Facebook friends (if you aren't in this "select" group just send a friend request) and I will also add a Twitter announcement under the hashtag #SepiaSaturday. If you have Flipboard, don't forget there is a Flipboard Sepia Saturday Magazine and I will try to make sure that the weekly prompts appears there as well. And finally, let me stress that Sepia Saturday and the Sepia Saturday Blog will continue for the foreseeable future.

Sepia Saturday 407 : 24 FEBRUARY 2018

SEPIA SATURDAY 407 : Saturday 24 February 2018

Ida Zornig ca. 1911

DOGS : BICYCLES : CIRCLES PATTERNS

This is the last of our sequence of theme images from the Flickr stream of the State Library of Queensland, and this shows Ida Zornig along with her bicycle and - very well behaved - dog. Sepians are well known for being very well behaved and therefore they will undoubtedly come up with something inventive and interesting in response to this prompt. Whatever you come up with, post your post on or around Saturday 24th February 2018 and add a link to the list below.

In March our theme images come from the Flickr Commons stream of the Vancouver Public Library. The full list of March prompts can be found HERE, and the next two theme prompts are listed blow.

SEPIA SATURDAY 406 : Saturday 17 February 2018

Manly Swimming Pool Brisbane 1936

SWIMMING : WATER : STANDING AROUND : HANGING AROUND

Like all our February prompt images, the one for Sepia Saturday 406 (post your posts on or around Saturday 17th February) comes from the Flickr Commons collection of the State Library of Queensland. There are the obvious theme possibilities of swimming and water available, but you might also want to investigate the possibilities of standing around and - like the child at the end of the diving board - hanging around. Whatever your choice, post your posts and link them to the list below.

Here are the next two prompt images so you can think about them in advance.
