Parcel Post

From the archives of the National Postal Museum comes this photo of a postal carrier with a young boy in his mailbag. After parcel post service was introduced in 1913, at least two children were sent by the service. With stamps attached to their clothing, the children rode with railway and city carriers to their destination. The Postmaster General quickly issued a regulation forbidding the sending of children in the mail after hearing of those examples.

Chasing the Sun

Cefalù, Sicily, is an ancient city on the Tyrrhenian Sea with a long history under the various Mediterranean powers. It has a famous Norman church and amazing coastal views and access. I came to this place one year ago with my family and spent the day rambling thru the old town. Somewhere along the shoreline buildings in the left hand side of this photograph is where we dined on a luscious meal of fresh, local seafood and wines. Just before I snapped this picture of the bay and the stormy sky. It's one of my favorite images and reminds me of the beautiful waters and rustic views I experienced throughout Sicily.
