Sweethearts

On one of our weekend wanderings, we stumbled upon this gem of a photo -
found in a dusty shop in the sierra foothills,
otherwise known as the Gold Country.
Grass Valley, California.

What a great photo! I wish I could know more about them. I'm waiting for the girl to turn her head and face the camera.

How fun!

Steps leading up to the front door and porches are quintessential USA to me. And so is lounging about there. Does it still happen?

Janis said...

Hi Francesca - Sure, in some places it still happens. Though I think it really depends on your neighborhood and the community you live in.
