A black and white photo of a woman wearing a large sparkling necklace, dressed for a night out. She is smiling.
My brain has been misbehaving, so I had to put things aside for a few days. Today, I decided to catch up with #SundayPix and I'm so glad I did. It is a joy so thank you @wombat37.bsky.social
A selfie from 10 years ago #SundayPixBW
It a photo of small pixie, met on Sunday night. It stand, silhouetted, against the starry light. In the shadows it is hard to tell its focus or direction. Is it gazing out from safe place toward a strange new world.. Or turned, to stare us in the face and bar the road ahead

A Victorian family portait taken at The Kennels, Waldershare, near Dover.
My Hayward Ancestors.
The baby on my great-grandmother's lap is is my grandfather. The little girl's my great aunt Lilian, my great-grandfather William (right), and his younger brother.
William was groom/coachman to the Earl of Guildford at Waldershare, Kent, where this was taken.

An ultrasound scan of an unborn baby approximately 18 weeks gestation. Readers, he grew up and became an accountant. He's also nearly 30 and getting married next year.
#Sundaypixbw got to add this which for many of us is this most precious black and white picture of all. My second child.
A table and a black-covered bbq sitting in 3-4 ft of snow in the sun. Cedar hedges and a house in the back. There are the tracks of some small animals across the top of the snow.
#SundayPixBW not black and white film, but it almost could be.
Wonderful shots for #SundayPixBW

#SundayPixBW Another very important black and white.
#SundayPixBW Four generations & five generations. The baby in the first is my mom, in the second it’s me. So 1950 & 1976.
#SundayPixBW Any excuse to go back to some of my favourite black and white photos! My parents with me. 🥰
Black and white photo of a black and white cat. It's a head shot, and she's looking just over the camera.

My sweet black and white Pidgeon, in a black and white glamour shot.
Three young men, the two sitting on a bench look as though they’re in army uniforms. The young man standing behind them is dressed in an oversize suit. The photo looks as though it was taken around 1914.
My paternal grandfather, Arthur, is on the right. He was born in 1898 and died aged 35 when my dad was only 3. I don’t know who the other young men are. Maybe the photo has something to do with First World War(?) If anyone knows what the cap badges represent, I’d be interested to know #SundayPixBW
Black and white metal tower made of crossing lines and bars reaches to the cloud-filled sky. There's a sma6sign at the base of the tower, advertising for the Luling Oil Museum at the visitors center, with an image of an oil pump jack.

Black and white close up of the swirled petals of a lisianthus bloom, surrounded by its stems and buds. Another bloom is behind it, off on the right, and is only beginning to unfurl.
#SundayPixBW
Beautiful lisianthus flower and buds.
Black and white view of store fronts on the right, and a barely seen street on the left. A metal roof shades the stores, and has radiaring lines from the curved posts holding them up. Cars are reflected in the shop windows. A board sign lists what's available for Sunday Brunch. There are no people in the scene.

Somewhere in South Central Texas, possibly Marble Falls.
Black and white view of an old style railroad dining car Diner, looking along the length of the car. The ceiling is curved, and shiny enough to reflect the shapes below. Stools are lined up in front of the well worn counter, and there's a man on the last one, leaning on the countertop. A woman walks behind him, facing the camera. The right side of the diner is filled with booths, with coat racks at each booth; many of them have jackets hanging on them.

The Red Hook Diner, Red Hook, NY, US.
This is the town located north of the City, BTW.

A woman in a large-rimmed fur hat with a fur stole round her shoulders over a jacket and high collared white blouse. She is holding a baby in a white bonnet and blanket in her arms and looking down at them. Next to her on the right is a woman in dark cloack, looking directly at the camera and smiling.
#SundayPixBW My great great grandmother on my mother's side, with her sister, and holding my grandfather. I've been searching on Ancestry for details of these people - and though the sister did live in Holland, I can't trace her children or husband fully. This photo is circa 1910.
Two people, a man and a woman, standing on a path posing for a picture at a church. They are at a wedding. The lady is wearing a stunning satin or taffeta fish-tale dress that goes to the ground, with a puffed sleeved fitted jacket. She is holding a posy of flowers in front of her and has a bow in her hair. The man standing to her right and just behind her is in top hat and tails. Both are looking at the camera.
#SundayPixBW One of my favourites of my great aunt, though I am not sure if that was her future husband or not. This is in 1936 at my maternal grandparents wedding - Sanderstead Church in Surrey.
Tree branches & canopy silhouetted against a white sky.
Snowy fields criss crossed with dry stone walks & dotted with bare tress.

I didn't take these in black & white but there was a complete absence of colour on the day.
Four very well dressed people. Two men both holding top hats and in tails, each linking arms with two women in pretty lacy dresses holding bouquets. They are at a wedding and are both sets of parents to the bridge and groom. Everyone is looking very happy, standing in the door of a church.
#SundayPixBW I only recently found who everyone in this picture was! I knew two of them (the outer two) were my maternal great grandparents, but it turns out the inner two were their new in-laws - my mother's uncle's wedding.
#SundayPixBW. Sausage fingers.
I know aircrew pictured in front of the propeller of their aeroplane

I don't actually know who these gentlemen are but their picture was in a box of ephemera at a local antiques fair and I was rather taken with it. I framed it and take it with me to singing sometimes (for reminiscence purposes).

My dad’s family. Bottom row: the ones that survived childbirth (she had 11 boys, for a football team, she said!).
Top row: Gran and Grandad, and the boys who survived to adulthood.
