The photohunter theme this week is "in memory". I thought I'd go with in memory of my mother (born in 1924 and died in 1990).
The shot above is of my mother as a child and the shot below was taken one Christmas a few years before she died.

That's so weird; when I looked at that second picture very quickly I thought it was myself. She does kind of look like me when I was about 12 if you look quickly.
Wonderful memory to share and honor ..
Lovely tribute to your mom Carver :)
I love seeing old photos like this. Your mom looks very happy in the Christmas photo.
Hope you have a nice weekend.
It's a lovely remembrance. It's nice to see your mother even on picture only. Do you look like her?

This is the best theme ever, I love your post about your mother, at mothers day weekend
Lovely tribute to your mother Carver. I could not decide who to do an in memory of so opted for public memorials.
Happy weekend to you.
Thanks for sharing photos of your mother, Carver. They're both lovely and the latter must bring back great memories whenever you look at them.
Wonderful memories
Old photos make me feel nostalgic. It's really nice that you have a picture of your mother when she was young. Your mom looked like she's having so much fun on the 2nd pic.
Lovely tribute. It's wonderful to be remembered so warmly...
Mine’s In Memory of a great time to be repeated...

Is that an adorable paper crown your mom had on in her photo from Christmas? lol..She certainly was a very very beautiful child! My hunt is up, come by and visit soon sweetie
... and it's Mother's Day here in Australia today.
Nice! I wanted to my mother also, but haven't got the scanner working yet.
Beautiful tribute to your mom. Is that a crown she is wearing on Christmas? I also did a post on my mom.
Thanks so much to everyone for visiting and to answer the question about my mother in the Christmas shot, she was wearing a crown. She was also wearing her fancy new night robe at Christmas dinner which makes me smile to remember.
My daughter commented that with a quick look she thought the child shot of my mother was her as a child. It's funny because I don't think of my daughter favoring my mom but at that same age my daughter looked just like that photo of my mom as a child.
Someone asked if I look like my mom and I'd say when I was younger I did resemble my mother but not much anymore. The older I got the more I looked and look like my Dad, or more people that knew both of my parents comment on my resemblance to my Dad. For new people to my blog who are thrown off by my name, I am a woman but was named after my grandfather.
Nicely done. This is going to be an interesting theme I think. Lots of memories. I'm glad yours were good ones.
I had something of a similar idea... sort of.
I knew from the time I saw this theme what I was gonna do. There was only one thing it could be.
