Every week Sepia Saturday inspires bloggers with an image. Hmm. I suppose those white headdresses remind me of old time nuns. Here’s what I’ve found.

Neat pix to match the prompt – all a little different. I’ve always thought the “flying nuns” look so light & airy. Love the little boy peeking under the one nun’s head covering to see what she’s reading to him. 🙂

That one with the boy is priceless.

The last two are my favorites. One a sense of awe and the other a playful moment.

The last photos caught my eye. My mom taught music at a parochial school, which was under the auspices of the Sisters of Charity — the nuns with the winged head coverings shown in the last photos. Whenever I see them, it brings my mom to mind. Thanks for the memories!

A clever spin on the theme. The first photo made me laugh to think of nuns wading out to clam. The last image is actually the reason I occasionally encounter difficulty in my research over a common term for a musical instrument. The nun’s head covering is called a Cornette, which sounds like and includes the word Cornet, i.e. a trumpet. It often comes up when searching through dealer lists of French postcards.
