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!

Those are wonderful pictures...especially the very last one. So sweet.

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
