Argus Super Seventy-five and the lost fall photos

This Argus was made from 1954 - 1958. It's a good quality consumer camera with a focusing, coated lens and selectable iris openings. It has double-exposure prevention and a bright viewfinder. Like many 50's cameras, it could be used as a weapon.

The Argus above came with an exposed roll of Kodak color film in it. I managed to get six printable frames from it.

Grandpa had no problem hanging out the laundry. A trait to be admired in a man from so long ago. Apparently he even constructed a wind-bag to determine optimum drying conditions. The basket in his left hand was one of his favorites.

The photographer favored this bush. It's a "burning bush" I think. They turn crimson in the fall. Color film was a real treat long ago.

I think someone bought Grandpa and Grandma this bush. It's pretty small but they loved it.

Grandpa's pride is evident here. He loved to be photographed with his basket and his drying long-johns.

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
