Ray doing what he loves to do

The caption under this photo is what was written on the back of it. Don't worry, Ray is not alone. You can see someone's feet behind the pony. Isn't this a great photo? Every child dreamed of having their own pony when I was a kid. Some of us did.

Hey, Ma! What's for supper?

I just love this old photo. One brave soul is actually sitting on the alligator. Southern living in the early 1900's.

Young boy shows off his new baseball uniform

This little fella is proud of his new baseball uniform and his playing skills. Not sure what year this photo was taken. This image was created from some old negatives I recently acquired. He sure is a cutie.

Here's the same young fellow who appears to be standing with his little sister.

Here's the young baseball player again in an action pose while his little sister shows no interest in his skills. These negatives were somewhat damaged but I managed to at least get these images from them. It would be a tragedy to have such wonderful images as these lost for all time.
