Here is a series of Kodachrome photos taken 1939 to 1943.

Color photography at that time was in its infancy.

Nice day for a ride or sitting in a tree.

Playing with the Sun in Delta

Because of course you can't look directly at the sun (especially through the camera lens) most of these photos are taken just holding the camera out there and hoping I come up with something. ..

Saturday January 8 2011 Pics from The Black Canyon

Tom and I drove up to The Black Canyon Visitor Center (that's as far as you can go in the winter-unless you walk or snowshoe). Today was a beautiful winter day for photos. There was a haze over the mountains. I don't know why that happens..I'll have to ask my weathermen friends. So, anyway here are a few photos..
Enjoy!





The fog is called Inversions according to the weatherman









Beautiful Winter Sun
