Sepia Saturday challenges bloggers to share family
history through old photographs.
This week’s Sepia Saturday prompt is a celebration of
dancing. Arms reach high to twirl a partner or to just respond to the music. But there
are many other reasons a person’s arms are in the air.

| John Holland about 1918 or 1919 1st cousin once removed |
To relax in the sun

To hold on to your hat

Do-si-do on over to Sepia Saturday where arms are raised
to greet you.

ReplyDeleteThat about sums it up! Thanks ~
DeleteI like the direction you took this in.
ReplyDeleteI was struggling.
DeleteGreat take-off on the theme this week! And you had a great collection of arms raised photos!
ReplyDeleteWhen I went looking for dance photos, I found none except the most current (from the weddings referenced in the last photos), but I started noticing all the arms up.
DeleteGreat set of photos! Amazing to have so many with arms raised in relaxation and fun.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about looking for arms raised - they just stood out as I looked for dance photos.
Delete"High five" to another enjoyable post!
ReplyDeleteNice take on this week's theme - cleverly done 'outside the box'. :)
ReplyDeleteNow don't say you are not clever!
