  1. This is a gorgeous photograph. I especially love the ladies holding the little bouquets and all the gentleman quietly standing in the background.

  2. I love all those hats! The lady seated in the front center looks like she's being weighed down by hers.

  4. What a positively charming photograph! I love the ladies' dresses and hats.

    Do you know if there's a way to make photographs open in a new window? I kept wanting to move the photo so I could read your post to see who was who. (Not like I knew any of them, of course!) Being able to move the photo isn't something I ever thought about before....

    Thanks so much for sharing.

  5. Nancy, I realized that is kinda tricky after I tried to do that too! If you have a Mac use Control+Click and then select "Open link in a new window." If you have a PC, try right clicking and see if there is a similar option. You could also copy the address of the photo and open a new tab and paste in the url. Glad you like it! :)

  6. Oh, thanks for the suggestions. I knew about right clicking to copy an address but hadn't thought about it for a blog photo. I'll try it. I'm enjoying your blog.
