That’s all the back of this picture said. I can assume it’s not the Green Lake in Texas. Probably Wisconsin or Michigan, where folks wear more plaid and more layers. I doubt it’s a family reunion, with no children or young people. Perhaps just a gathering of friends? It looks casual, but the grand dame on the far left could just have easily have fit into an image at the turn of the century.
Isn’t it funny how different people experience the same moment? The woman dead center in the foreground isn’t even making eye contact with the photographer at all. The ladies on the far right are full of pep and horsing around, while Debbie Downer beside the tree appears to have just lost her favorite pet.
Actually, the two grumpiest folks are the ones without glasses!
The lady with the sideways ball cap was either years ahead in her fashion or making some sort of statement. What that statement was we will never know.

Maybe sideways ball caps make people grumpy?

I love that you can see the image of the photographer in the glasses of the woman in the lower left in the second photo.

It is always like being a detective when I study old photographs. I enjoyed how you described the people. 🙂
