Pink Hat and Laughing Dog....Hats 2/2

Posted by Christine (Ellemford, United Kingdom) on 20 August 2012 in Documentary & Street and Portfolio.

There are a number of hat shops in New Orleans, hats for all occasions, you don't even need an occasion to wear one.

I love a bit of style and this lady had loads.

It is my sisters birthday today, Happy Birthday Sis. My sister can stick any hat on her head and look terrific in it, I can't claim the same.

Nikon D7000 1/1000 second F/3.8 ISO 200 36 mm (35mm equiv.)

I'm very much an amateur photographer. I live in the hills of the Scottish Borders which has fantastic flora and fauna, as well as wonderful light.

One might guess what they are what they are talking about, but not what the dog is laughing at. I do like this closeup.

@Sally: Hard to believe she wasn't but in New Orleans there are plenty who are! Had to be careful not to stare!
