That 1st capture should be up on a wall somewhere. And the 2nd is pretty sweet!
Thanks Hilary...have a good evening/day.
Dreamy shots!
Toronto Islands looks like as it is a part of heaven which we shall see some day.. through your lens the world looks very b'ful.
I love your treatment of the second shot.......Very 1950's.
I love this old boat and those two women...
Greetings from France,

Thanks for sharing some links!! Will definitely check them out :)
Oh they do lend themselves to sepia, big-time. They could have been taken any time in the last 50 years or so. Gorgeous!
I'm delighted to see Ciara's post on Milkmoon up.
I love the ship photo Hilary. We hope to see some neat boats on our trip to Lake Champlain this weeekend.
Off to check out some of your POTW.

Beautiful pictures. I like the sepia effect.

Love the sepia treatments! Thanks for the links - I read Pauline's and agree! I'll have to check out the others.
Sepia was perfect for these!! Excellent images!
lovely picture
Fabulous photos - you'd think they were taken in that misty past...
And once again I thank you for the POTW spotlight! I've made some wonderful new blog friends through your posts of the week, so I thank you for that, too!
I also look at the POTW people and love the sepia pictures. It's a great service you provide. Hope you have a great day, Hilary.
The second picture of the women walking is perfect in sepia. I really like that photo.
I will be checking out the posts you recommend. I agree with Adrian's comment; the photo is like 1950s.
Love the image of those two women .. feels like they stepped out of the 50's.
Timeless, aside from the fashion clue from the ladies.
Those are great! I like the sepia, too. Congrats to the bloggers.
Beautiful treatment on both of them! You made the perfect choice.
I just love the sepia treatment on the second one especially!! Thanks for the treats to read and see too!
Beautiful photos! They look right our of the past :)
Thank you for the nomination! And congrats to the rest of the wonderful bloggers :) _B
Love your sepia photos--they do take us "time away." THanks for the introduction to some new (to me) blogs.
I love this first photograph. It speaks to me of faraway journey across the ocean. Going over to visit the posts you chose:-)
Hello my dear Hilary, I am back posting.;)
LOVE your new look here and the new profile picture as well, you look so blond.;)
Beautiful header image, instigating a sense of freedom...
Lovely photography as well.
Congratulations to everyone, I bet these are some lovely reads, will try to visit.;)
xoxo
hey, that is ME! thank you!
Thanks for the POTW, I'm flattered. Lovely photos in sepia.
I was reading Pauline's blog and for a minute I thought I was at Hilary's gazing at one of your master pieces. Good choice for POTW!
The photo of the two girls is beautiful...!
I have always wanted to visit the Toronto Islands. I would imagine it would be a lovely place to live. :-)
Hi Hilary, Beautiful treatment on the photos. And the ship looks like it's loaded with people enjoying the day.
Thanks for all the great blogs to check out. I've been away for a while and will catch up on your posts first then go and read the new POTWs.
Hope your summer is going great. xo jj
Thought I'd commented on this! Thanks for the Pow award! I am humbled...
Your pics look so good. They take us back, way back in time.
I've only checked out one blog, so far. Now I'm going back for the rest.
Hugs
Just lovely. Cannot wait to check everyone out!
I don't know if you've seen this blog post or not, but I've just laughed myself silly!

A visit to the islands was one of the things we did when we were in Toronto about 12 years ago. It's the perfect place to stand and look back at the city.
Thanks for these images capturing the past as well as for these great posts.
I loved your images and the ones of the Ladies is stunning.
This is such a nice feature with blogging having changed so much in recent years, Hilary. Great post!
