I love both of your photos, and images of women of that era with such long, complex clothing on bikes always intrigue me.

Also, the fact that she is actually outside would indicate perhaps she was a bit more of a free spirit.<br />I love your musing about his decision. Charming.<br /><br />I'll be posting tomorrow.
