They were handsome and beautiful in the first photo, and though older, just as handsome and beautiful in the second. It's grand that you have such good, clear photos of them in similar poses at two different times in their lives. <br /><br />My father always wore a hat, in every season of the year. I always thought hats were hot in the summer but I suppose, if they are loosely woven as your native Canarian's is, they at least keep off the sun.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-43764987098322514492012-01-14T13:00:57.785-08:002012-01-14T13:00:57.785-08:00Quite a good collection of family and not...do you...Quite a good collection of family and not...do you think the Old lady in sunbonnet could have been the inspiration for Sun Bonnet Sue, a quilting applique pattern favorite?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093078029028920810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-41615315814225741522012-01-14T06:40:40.576-08:002012-01-14T06:40:40.576-08:00Alice in the 2nd photo looks a bit like Judy Dench...Alice in the 2nd photo looks a bit like Judy Dench!tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746435400444226665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-64847801785756564352012-01-14T04:19:53.752-08:002012-01-14T04:19:53.752-08:00I loved every one of your hat examples.
