Baby Buttercup and Daddy, June 1951
We're taking a quick break from travel posts to once again share one of my favorite pictures of one of my all-time favorite people, my father.
There aren't many pictures of my father and me -- there aren't all that many pictures of my childhood -- but that's not uncommon in the era before the world went digital. But out of what was probably a roll of film -- that cost an hour's wages to develop -- this one was a keeper and 73 years later, it's even more of a keeper.
On this Father's Day and every day, remembering my father with love and gratitude. I'm one lucky buttercup.
Best to all, whether you're celebrating or simply remembering. I know this can be a tough day with more tears than smiles, so for all with tears I'm sending love and hugs.
As ever, thanks for visiting and take good care.

Such a sweet, sweet photo, Carol! I miss my dad, too, and loved him so much as I know you did yours. Blessings!
It's a great photo.:)
Thanks for a lovely, heartfelt tribute to your dad. Those of us who were raised by good men are greatly blessed. I enjoyed your travel pictures on Facebook!
What an adorable baby Buttercup. That photo is a treasure.
I so love this photograph! I was just lamenting (at) how few images of my childhood home and friends exist. You're so right about the cost for film and developing. Photography was a more deliberate thing; not nearly as impulsive as today.
That is a fabulous picture! You can see the love and happiness you have for each other by your faces!!! Thanks for sharing.
What a special and lovely photo Buttercup!
Wishing you a lovely week.

That picture is definitely a Keeper. Like you I don't have many pictures from my childhood either. I think we were all blessed by the dads we had. Afteralll we wouldn't be here without them.
Beautiful and precious photo! A lovely tribute for Father's Day. Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada.
I was only 22 when my dad passed away. Always wish for more time together.
It was interesting to read that you have few photos with your father as the same is true for myself, Carol. It’s why special ones like yours are such teasures.
Precious photo of you and your dad.
That is a lovely photograph.
Sending my good wishes.
All the best Jan
