There wasn't a date or caption with the photo... I'm guessing 1973-1974?
Almost certainly late 1973.

Thanks, Love2Travel! I love those kind of photos too!
This is a photo that was posted on Linda's official Instagram today. It's called "5 Dice" from 1977. I can tell that's Paul's arm! lol They must have loved playing Yahtzee. Looks like he got a large straight!

^ I too would recognize that hand/forearm anywhere!

Remembering LInda today.
Linda Louise McCartney
September 24, 1941 – April 17, 1998

Thanks for posting that lovely photo, oobu! She's still sorely missed because she did so many wonderful things with her life, that are still making a difference.
Someone on another site pointed out that April 17 is also the 50th anniversary of the "McCartney" album in 1969. This is one of the photos she took of Paul for the shoot of that album. Anytime she took photos of him, they always turned out absolutely perfect, I think because the love was always visible through his eyes, and smile.
I've always wondered what song he was creating on the piano as she snapped this.

This one deserves a repeat today!

thinking of her a lot today, thanks for posting such lovely pictures and videos.
RIP Linda

Paul's tribute to Linda in Club Sandwich. Found on FB. Someone wrote: This was the last issue of Club Sandwich. Paul decided not to continue it after her death because he largely viewed the publication as “her baby”. It was her idea to start a proper fan magazine. It was a great outlet for her photography over the years.

very sad. his pain is felt so strongly through his words.

Found this posted on FB backwards, flipped it the correct way and posted for them. Paul's face looked bizarre the other way!

I enjoyed looking at all the pictures of Linda included in Beatles stuff that I found online, procured, and shared. She was interesting and inspirational in her lifestyle and beliefs. She loved nature and animals and the people she loved more than "things" and materialism. She could have worn Chanel and Dior and Versace and such all the time, but instead seemed sort of anti-fashion and above all that. She once remarked, "I don't think people know what to make of me." She didn't project a calculated "image" but was always natural and down to earth. Linda said of not wearing makeup, "Might as well let them see what they're getting." When she did speak publicly and in interviews, she said interesting things. I remember reading Linda's attempt to describe how awesome, amazing and magical it was to be on stage close to Paul while he was making his incredible music. To hear his music like that. She seemed pretty modest and humble and laid back, considering her position in life, and whom she was married to, and all that...She said "my children are my best friends." She pursued her own careers and interests and goals while being the ultimate earth mother, which must be difficult to pull off, unless it all comes naturally to you. Linda was a great role model.
This deserves a "bump"

I remember watching a documentary on Linda many years ago when she talked about her photographic career. She preferred black and white photos, and she was shown walking down a street and snapping whatever looked different or interesting. I started to try that myself. At the time we were eating quite a few Linda McCartney meals which were very nice, even though my wife and I are not vegetarians. She was a great lady. It must have been unbelievably tough for someone with no musical experience to be pitched into one of the highest-profile bands in the world - you would only do that for someone you loved.

Any idea what year this is? Kestrel?
