SEPIA SATURDAY 412 : 31 MARCH 2018

Anna Finlayson, Miss Vancouver, Miss PNE and Miss Grey Cup packing her bags for the Grey Cup - 1959

PACKING  :  SUITCASES  :  DOGS  :  BEAUTY QUEENS

Our Sepia Saturday theme this week is a real beauty - incorporating travel, luggage, dogs and competitions. You could also include curtains, tables, and decapitated hands (if that is not a contradiction in terms). Whatever you find in our weekly theme image all you need to do is to give us an old image and tell us a little about it - however obtusely it may - or may not - be connected to the theme. Simply post your post on or around Saturday 31st March and add a link to the list below. Oh, and now I come to think of it, you might want to feature a beauty queen (or, indeed, king) as well.

Whilst you are thinking about that, take a moment to see what is around the Sepia corner in the first part of April.

From beauty queens to fat old men to barrow loads of dead fish: all human life is here at Sepia Saturday.

Florence Timms on her wedding day - 1928

WEDDINGS : GARDEN PORTRAITS : BRIDE : FLOWERS 

Like the other Sepia Saturday theme images for March, the theme image for Sepia Saturday 411 comes from the Flickr Commons stream of the Vancouver Public Library. This 1928 photograph of Florence Timms might put you in mind of weddings and brides, and flowers and ... whatever you can come up with. All you need do is to post your post on or around Saturday 24 March 2018 and add a link to the list below.

And whilst you are waiting for the bride to arrive, you might want to cast an eye over the themes for the next couple of weeks. And don't forget, all the theme images for April are now available.

RAIN : CHILDREN : POLICEMEN : NIGHT

Our Sepia Saturday theme image this week comes from a dark time in history and is appropriately dark in nature. You, however, may interpret "dark" (or any other element you find in the image) in whichever way you want. Simply post your post on or around Saturday 17th March 2018 and add a link to the list below.

And whilst you are sheltering from the cold rain of these dark days, you might want to think about the future (well the next couple of Sepia Saturdays)

Can you hear me? OK, I will shout. What I was trying to say was that for Sepia Saturday 409 - post your posts on or around Saturday 10th March 2018 and add a link to the list below - our theme image once again comes from the Flickr Commons collection of the Vancouver Public Library. It is up to you how you attempt to match this for a theme, if match it you decide to do. If not, just share any old image and - or rather an old image from your collection of your choice.

Whilst I have your attention, here is a preview of the next two Sepia Saturday theme images
