Father's Day - Image of the Week #20

It's Father's Day tomorrow and Image of the Week #IOTW  at Truly, Madly Kids,  is keeping to this theme.  My Dad is no longer around and even when he was, we didn't make a big fuss of Father's Day.  A card to mark the occasion was all that was required.  My dad loved his holidays and even in the 1960s when we had very little money we always went away camping every summer.  By the way, that's me with the cool shades and the blow up beach ball in the background.


I searched around to see if I could find an image of my husband, Brian, and our two sons, this was about the best I could do.  It was taken in Dublin when we visited there, taking my mother along,  the summer after my Dad died.  In their teens, music was a real connecting point between Brian and the boys so this is quite an appropriate photograph.

      Thank you, it was good to go and look for these images and think about my Dad.

    Great images, Janice, each a beautiful memory. I love black and white photos (in fact almost all of my childhood photos are in black and white).

      Thanks Galina, nothing quite like a black and white image for atmosphere and you can add the colours in your head :-)
