2010s 2000s 1990s 1980s 1970s 1960s 1950s 1940s 1930s Snapshots

I was inspired to create this page for those of you who live too far away to see my family in person. I have always enjoyed visiting the sites of others who have done this. The images are arranged in reverse chronological order. As I add pictures to this page I try to insert them where they belong in the date sequence, so the most recent additions may not always be at the top. Originally I intended this page to be a place for family photos, but it also seemed an appropriate place to show other photos I want on my website, so I have created a new section called Snapshots at the bottom with links to more pages of photos. Now that the boys have grown up and departed—and I am using my cellphone more frequently as a camera—this section will probably grow the fastest.
