Mrs. Nesbitt's Place ABC Wednesday prompt is the letter V.
Music has always been an important part of family activities. There are many instruments played by many family members, but piano, guitar, oboe, tuba, clarinet etc. etc. do not start with V.
We are still visiting in Port Townsend (where Kristin, our best and professional violinist is our hostess), but our visit is drawing toward its close. Time being short here, in the interest of intensive visiting (we all love to talk!), I am grabbing a few of the many photos of family and violins that are already in my computer. In two or three of them son Otto is playing his Colin Dipper English concertina which often doubles as and sounds like a violin.

How fortunate you are to have these special family times, making music together, regardless of age etc
I love seeing all the different ages playing together. You are making solid family memories.
Lovely photos and memories of a musical family. I wish I'd have had music lessons when a child, but alas! Please do come by for a visit. :D
Music is so important. My daughter posted her old violin.
Looks like a whole lot of fun!
Great V...
Music is such a vital part in my life too, although I am a listener! Thanks for showing these wonderful family violon-players!
How could I have forgot.
Of course V --is for Violin.
What a delight that such talent fills the family and is passed along to multiple generations.
Again I was struck with the likeness you have with our very own Queen Elizabeth! HRH Granny Smith!
A musical family, what a treat on special occasions I am sure.
My favorite instrument! And a perfect V!
So perfect for the V post:)

I do so love the sound of a well-played violin. My son plays piano, trumpet, and guitar tolerably well, but he only plays a little violin. Ah well, I can't say much because I don't play any instrument...but I love to listen to them.
A fabulous V post!
What delightful photos! great watching children play instruments.
I also enjoyed your knitting post!
My niece used to call violins "Those guitars you play with a stick when she was little.Te He.
And re; the apples "Silly Me!"
those photos were a lot of fun; especially the first which really tugged at the ol heart strings
