As I deduced in my previous posting about Florida 1975 and my first trip to Disney World, my Dad did in fact bring along his camera. Once he agreed that there must be additional slides of this trip somewhere, he went on double-secret alert scouting for the missing transparencies. On Christmas Eve, he presented me with the heretofore lost artifacts, which had turned up in the back of his closet, along with some other great slides of the era – plus some additional ones of his family trips from the 1960’s. These Florida slides were dated June of 1975, further narrowing the dates of the trip.
I am going to savor these shots by displaying them in several postings – beginning here with these three great shots taken at Sunken Gardens. Since my Dad has a photgrapher’s blood coursing through his veins, there are many additional shots of the various animal life and foliage that did not include any of us. I inherited this trait too, and have taken many photos over the years of nature, monuments, buildings, etc. – all of which seem to hold little interest now as I long more for shots of people from various eras.
More shots of the 1975 Florida trip to come…
