A Half-Frame Christmas

 

There's something charming about half-frame slides, and this Christmas tree and present one is no different.

Bonus - 

The Onion Harvest

 

Another delightful Half-Frame slide. There's a certain charm to them, but the quality can be quite good.

Obviously, someone's small-holding produced a bumper crop of inions, and this is the way to dry them out for better preservation.

Bonus - 

Suburban Boating

 

Proof that you don't need the sea (or even water) to get the family to enjoy boating.

Another Half-Frame slide, and for some reason I think this might be in Wales.

Swing Time

 

( I remember having a cardigan in that colour. )

Oh, how swinging has changed since 1976.

Down At The Half-Frame Farm

 

Again, the black border is not a sign of mortality....it is a sign of being a Half-Frame 35mm Slide Format image.

Here, the kids are saying their last good-byes to Sparky, their pony. Spark is heading off to live on another farm.

Allegedly.

Scenes from a Welsh Suburb - No 49

 

Again, the black border is merely me indicating that this is a Half-Frame slide.

Honestly, I have no evidence that this is in Wales, but the whole box of sl;ides have a feeling of Welsh-ness from the scenery and surroundings.  And it had a faint whiff of Caerphilly Cheese.

I'm Back !

 

Yup. I've been away for a couple of days, but... I'm back now.

What?   You didn't notice ?? 

Oh. OK.

So, have another half-frame Christmas shot.

Bonus - For The Smiles ...

Not Opening Presents Yet

 

I know it's the 27th December, and "everyone" has opened their Christmas Presents.

Well, Almost everyone.

"You're not opening your presents until Derby County secure promotion!" Could be a long wait.

Bonus - 

Swing Time

 

Newer Blog-Readers might see the thick black border on this image, and assume the worst. But, no.  This little cutie ain't dead. Actually, she might be ... I have no idea who she is, where she is, or even when she is.

The Black Border is a little not to this image originating from a half-frame camera.   I've explained them before, but.... it's a thing. From the past.
