My Sky Watch entry this week is a very old picture. It is probably thirty years old.
This picture was taken soon after we moved to New Jersey from New York. It is of my youngest daughter and her cousin, running up the beach at Cape May Point.
The color may be faded from its original appearance, but I still love it. I hope that you enjoy it too.
Please visit the Sky Watch home site. Many thanks to our hosts, Tom and Jane Wigley, who thought of the idea of Sky Watch. About 280 of us think it's a wonderful idea.
Please forgive me if I don't comment on too many this week. I seem to be having some computer problems.

There you go Bobbie...nice memory to go with a nice sky.
It's like looking into a dream, Bobbie!
How beautifully nostalgic! Did you ever dream you would be sharing that pic with hundreds??? :O)
I do love it. It speaks of childhood happiness and of being carefree. It actually screams that. Wonderful.
the sky is great and so are the memories :)
Beautiful shot.
You've captured the spirt and fun of summer days! This is lovely.

Looks like they were having a great time by the sea and under a pretty sky. Thanks for sharing your memories.
delightful - how fashions do change.
It is a lovely memory to have, Bobbie. What's 30 years among friends ...

Photos of happy kids are always winners in my book!

Hi Bobbie, that was a pretty place to come. I'll bet you like NJ, at least for a while, I think it was nicer without so many people back then.

Hello! Cape May Point has a way making people happy. The sea, salt air and beautiful sky. What more could anyone ask for. Lisa
Bobbie I think the colour makes it very special, it looks beautiful for days gone by!
I can see why you love it. Especially when I clicked on it to look at it larger, and you can see the body language better and the looks on their faces.
I love it - memories make good skies :) Happy Skywatch Friday!
Maybe an old picture - but still a great memory:)
Nice!

Happy weekend! Perfect one for SWF! We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon.... Mine's up too hope you can drop by...
Oh it is great. You caught the kids in motion. I like it...
I love old photos and this one is no exception.
I stared at this lovely photo a long time. I'm not sure I would have guessed it was an old one without your explanation, but you certainly captured the joy and exuberance of youth - mid-dash with one foot raised - and that is timeless. Thank you for sharing the memory.
Beautiful view, sweet memory and love the age makes it all the sweeter.
Bobbie, such wonderful memories! The kids look so happy and carefree! Thank you for showing this to us. Sorry about your computer problems. Hope you get them fixed soon!
It is an awesome photo...I just love the softness of it. And the two children in it--I love the way they are looking at the camera.
So sweet!
What a great photo isn't it great reliving those memories?
This is a great photo and I love that you can share a photo that is that old in the modern day. Happy SWF.
What a great photo. It looks like a beautiful memory. I can see why you love it!
It's so beautiful beacuse it's faded to such a dreamy image.
This is very cute. A great memory to share on your blog. The sky also looks fantastic. A nice color.
I loved seeing this photo--a treasure! Thanks so much for sharing.
Happy weekend, my friend.
It's a good thing you've kept a photo to remember life's moments.
Hope you can hop by my SWF post HERE. Happy weekends!
I love this picture and I think that the somewhat faded look adds to it! It looks like a happy memory!
Golden memories and treasured moment. I liked the shot!
Bobbie: That certainly holds some great memories for you I'm sure.
Time has added mystery
To a picture lost in time
It deserves a comment
So, from me, it has to rhyme!
Now those leaping children
Are washed in a purple haze
Which seems to add a patina
An unexpected glaze.
You could have searched for ever
For a picture such as this,
But Time has done it for you!
A Memory of Bliss.

wonderful sky, but i must correct you when it comes to who thought of it. It was Dot who came up with the idea and turned it over to Tom
Sorry i have to give credit were its due and Tom also did in his introduction to Sky watch.
Hi Bobbie, thanks for visiting my skywatch today. Love the sky here, memories are indeed a wonderful record!
I agree - a lovely, evocative picture. Stirs similar memories for me.

Bobbie, great old shot! Cape May - what a wonderful place! We visited there many years ago...should go back! Happy SWF!
Old may be, but beautiful :)
Love the photo and memory.
I like your Sky Watch.
If you don't have Photoshop, let a Photoshopper run it through "Autocolor" and that will restore it to near original color.
I am trying to visit all today.
It's a fun challenge.
I discontinued verification and moderation today.
