Color Photographs From A Very Dreary Time


You have to look at these pictures. They are rare color photographs from the depression and into the forties. The quality is surprisingly good and I love how the colors make the time period seem less nostalgic and more real. A must see.
I love the lady in the red kerchief and her matching red nail polish. That's how I would have done it, Lord knows.

Didn't you love the photographs of children? And the garden in New Mexico, and Colorado! I miss Colorado so badly since we were out there this time last year.
