Garden Favorite

This was one of my Dad's favorite photos of him and his twin sister, Jonė. It probably was taken in the family garden. Spring makes me look back on this snapshot because I imagine that the twins are standing next to a lush lilac.

The twins were high-school students when they posed for this photo. War was just around the corner, but their future plans, in 1939, still only took into account a university education.


Kaunas, Lithuania, 1939. Both Dad and Jonė kept old prints of this photo in their favorite albums.
