English: Silent, black and white 16mm film consisting of home movies of fall and winter outings to Belle Isle, a snow-covered neighborhood, and a trip to New Mexico shot between 1927 and 1928.
According to a list included with the film, it opens with "A beautiful autumn day at Belle Isle," shot on October 27, 1927. In a series of shots, a woman, child, and a man are filmed around the island. The child is the focus of most shots, and is shown in front of a small fountain, playing inside a garbage can, posed on a small bridge near the Casino, crossing a stepped bridge, on the grounds of the Belle Isle Conservatory, inside the Conservatory, chasing a peacock, riding a tricycle, and standing near a small dam. This segment also includes shots of a polar bear at the Belle Isle Zoo. A title card introduces the next section as "New Years Snow Storm, Jan. 1 28." The camera pans around a residential neighborhood during a snowfall, then films a young man and the man from the Belle Isle segment both posed in front of a house with the address number 823. Next, another title card announces, "A Cold Day on Belle Isle, Jan 2, 28." The woman, man, and child from the first segment post around an automobile on a snow-covered road on Belle Isle. The next session is introduced with a title card reading "Leonas Visit with Fr Alfes, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Feb 9 28." Shots follow of a bed-ridden man in a hospital, buildings, a priest, the family outside of a car on a desert road, the countryside from the window of a train, the Castanada Hotel in Los Vegas, an active pueblo village, Albuquerque Station The film is on a black metal reel housed within a grey metal canister.
