Time waits for no man....or woman for that matter. In trying to freeze the hands of time more often than not, the exact opposite is the only thing accomplished. Appreciate each day for what it is. Every step into the future holds its own unique beauty its just having to look a little harder for it sometimes.❤
It seems that Windsor was a beautiful little town. And now it's quite ugly, very mismanaged, and dilapidated. The poor city follows the trends of the times, like other places, and has no sense of the perennial, nor the sublime, nor any sense of beauty. There are a few timeless pockets, but very lost at large, and awkwardly existing alongside modern ugliness. Not just physically, but socially as well. Poor, poor hometown. There is little order in this place. These photographs are a treasure to behold. A small sidenote; You should despise the North-American mindset of building fast and cheap. Poor places like Windsor needs people who know traditional trades, and have traditional values and do not cut corners. Poor, poor place this is. What a joke. I do love and care for this place.
Our (white) family went to watch that Emancipation Day parade. I was four-years-old - and when we got home, I told my mother that when I grew up, I wanted to have a black face so I could be in a parade ... ! I suppose there's some kind of a lesson in there somewhere .....

Whoever that man was before Sophia Loren was so handsome and still is. He aged amazing!! Nothing really looked that much different on except for the grey hair.
I hate what age does to us. Look at very old people and remember, they were once young and beautiful. They would surprise you with what they did as a young person. Some women flew planes during WW2, some were beauty contest winners, swimmers, athletes, dancers, its always an interesting conversation if you're lucky enough to have one. Theyre just about gone from that era.
