>the homely photo

At first I wanted to alert you that homely means ugly, however then I googled the definition and found that it means ugly for AE and cozy and comfortable in BE, according to Oxford.

Still maybe good to know that it has such diverging meanings.

And then for me (French) I read it as "a photo depicting a home situation, a photo from home" :)
