This little miss, sitting on a stone wall with her dad next to her, is not posing for a photograph. She couldn't care less about the photograph, the view, the scenery, or the fact that her dad is squatting next to her making sure she doesn't fall.
No, not her. Her focus is on Teddy as she adjusts his blanket.
There were no deletes with film photography, only more photos. These days, we would probably never save digital photos like these.
It looks like they drove on, arrived at a different stone wall, or the same stone wall further along the road, where little miss sat and, finally, with Teddy's blanket adjusted properly, she posed for the camera with a smile.
These photos are dated 1952 when little miss would have been about two and a half. The locations were not recorded.

Nice photos. Her smile made me smile.
ReplyDeleteAt last, she smiles!
ReplyDeleteThey are both precious photos!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are adorable!
ReplyDeleteSometimes photos tell stories...and how this little one became happy for the camera was well told!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo series. I have a bunch of these -- family group shots before everyone posed, then the official smiling version. I still save them even in the digital age!
ReplyDeleteThese remind me of photos of Skyline Drive.
