Sepia Saturday 739 : 31 August 2024

 

Dear Sepians, This is the last of my postcards as this is the end of postcard month here on Sepia Saturday. This week our theme image shows a group of soldiers from the early twentieth century. Soldiers, sailors, airmen or any military group would fit in with the theme, or any picture postcard would. Whatever you choose just post your posts on or around Saturday 31st August 2024 and add a link to the list below. And, don't forget, our September theme is Highs and Lows - here are the first two theme images so you can start planning your submissions. Best regards, Alan

Sepia Saturday 738 : 24 August 2024

 

Dear Sepians, We continue with our postcard month here on Sepia Saturday and this week we are having a bit of a laugh. Most of us are familiar with these types of cartoons - these days you see them all the time on your social media feeds - and back in the early twentieth century they were an integral part of that pre-digital social media craze - the picture postcard. Share your laughs and share your smiles by posting an old image on or around Saturday 24th August 2024 and adding a link to the list below. And before the smile wears off your face, take a look at what is around the corner on Sepia Saturday. As ever, Alan

All you need to do is to post an old photo and some new thoughts on or around Saturday 17th August 2024 and then add a link to the list below. I'm off for an ice cream now. Best regards, Alan. P.S. Here is what is around the corner -

Sepia Saturday 734 : 27 July 2024

 

Throughout July we have been on the sepia water and this week is your last chance to get out those old photographs of seaside, lakeside and rivers. Our theme photo this week features a woman in a rubber dinghy at Ostend back in the 1930s. You don't have to go to Ostend, nor do you have to get in a dinghy, all we are asking is that you share your old photographs on or around Saturday 27th July 2024 and add a link to the list below. And whilst you are at the seaside / lakeside / riverside you might want to buy a picture postcard so you can be ready for our next monthly theme - postcard memories.

We may not quite be on the water this week on Sepia Saturday, but we are the next best thing - on the sands. The seashore has been a magnet for children down the generations, with bucket and spade in hand, every child must feel a thrill when the seaside is in sight. This week we are celebrating this endless love affair here on Sepia Saturday and so we invite you to share your old photographs on or around Saturday 20th July 2024 and leave a link on the list below.  And as July turns into August, here is what is to come on Sepia Saturday.
