Trying to select my favorite photograph for the next Smile for the Camera Carnival was difficult, but while browsing through my photo albums, this photograph of my sister and me on one of the gliders in Washington Park just struck my fancy.

The first house in which I lived was located at 783 Park Avenue in Albany, New York.

My father was discharged from military service in World War II on 25 Jan 1946. Upon returning home, I suspect the year 1946 and the first half of 1947 were very busy for him. He married my mother on 22 May 1947.

Way back in September 1955 while on an outing to the park, my father snapped this photo of my mother and me enjoying the warm, sunny weather.
