  1. hi, my maiden name is McCall. they are every where. My dad was born in Manassas and all his brothers and sisters and cousins but all but 1 moved to other places, Savannah was Daddy Charles F Mccall and Jack his brother and their sister Helen McCall Kennedy. 1 in Conyers, 1 in Fort Lauderdale One in Collins. GA.. still have Terrel and John McCall in your area,
    I find the only way to get new followers is to find someone you like and follow and comment, after a few comments if they don't comment on mind i find someone else. I get about 14 to 15 a day, most people have moved on to instagram and FB and other media, blogging is slowly dying out. I don't care for either of those, do have FB but don't post just follow my crazy family. I like the intimacy of the blog but most like the other. I only have 6 of my originals friends from 2009 when I started and at that ime i had 40.

    1. Oh my gosh. We're distant cousins! For real! My direct line is Charles McCall, RS (1732-1814; marr. Celete Ann "Nancy" Williams) but my line veers off via Nathaniel McCall (c1780-1840; marr. Mary Johnson) and their son Bartlett Benjamin McCall married Elizabeth Seay and so forth. My bunch migrated to Alabama, then on to Florida.
      Now, how cool is that! πŸ˜ŠπŸ’•

  3. I don't want to ponder too hard trying to figure why ... but images like this resonate so deeply with me. I could sit all the live-long day in a gallery of these sorts of photographs!

  4. Black and white is the best way to capture an image like this.

  6. Seeing old buildings and old equipment abandoned always makes me feel a bit sad and pensive. I always wonder about the people who lived there, worked there, and touched others through time. Great photo, Pam.

  8. There is something poignant and melancholy about this. I love seeing old things like this though, and thinking about the farmer who was probably so excited to get this tractor when it was new, and all the miles and work it did in the field. Great photo!
