Hats

It was a day of hats at the United States Naval Academy graduation ceremony today. 

There were hats with ribbons and hats with bows.

There were hats for high fashion

And hats for utilitarian function

Wide-brimmed hats

And hats with a narrower brim

There were high-tea hats

And court-side hats

There were official insignia'd hats

There were hats at a rakish angle

And there were hats anticipating their big moment

 

And then there were hats aloft

And when it was all over, some of those hats found new homes - perhaps on the heads of future midshipmen.

Love your observation and I would have been choking back tears the entire time!

I have missed you in person and in blogland! That pesky school must be really taking up your time. Between that and being a great mom and wife, it really must be overtime. I wouldn't know, I'm so much more selfish than that. Good for you but good for us to hear from you again. Love, Stephanie
