Summer Of '69


40 years ago, the Summer Of '69, was "The Summer Of Love" ... not just the title of the old Bryan Adams 80s song, but the real summer of 1969, which featured Apollo XI's landing on the moon, and Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin's walks; and the Woodstock Music & Art Fair.

Tie-dye was a new art form, as was the this peace symbol. Macy's is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the "The Summer Of Love" in their women's fashion departments. Today's photo was taken with my Alias2 mobile phone of a tank top while Kathy was looking around the store.

For the Summer of '69, I was just a mere 5.5 years old ... getting ready for first grade. What were you doing back then?

I was almost 3 then so I don't remember much! It must have been a dramatic time with so much happening in the world.
