Ill Challenge you to funky hats.
You've got me beat by a mile, THG. Only thing is my leopard is real (1930s piece of trim).
I look forward to seeing and hearing more about your day job.
Ale: Thanks! Great looking crease you have put in on your Optimo. Better be careful, though, any more of an angle on your photos and your lid is likely to fall right off. lol

Admiring a great little Brown County American Impressionist painting at an old favorite antiques shop which we had not visited for some time. Saturday morning. Beverly Hills Deluxe Quality.
All smiles after finding a magnificent portrait by Nicholas R. Brewer, in the original frame. Brewer was a noted American painter of the late 19th and early 20th centuries who was especially renowned for his portraiture. Presidents Grover Cleveland and Fraklin D. Roosevelt, as well as countless other prominent politicians and socialites of the time sat for their portraits with Brewer, and we have been looking for a fine early 20th century portrait by him for a very long time. Brewer was a Minnesotan, and wrote a fascinating autobiography: Trails Of A Paintbrush.
The snow started to fall in the early afternoon on Saturday...
...and continued to fall without respite into the evening. The skyway in Minneapolis on our way to Orchestra Hall Saturday evening. Caxton Beaver Twenty.
The roads were slick with the rapidly accumulating wet and heavy snow, and we briefly considered staying home...briefly.
It was still snowing after the concert. We were expecting a light crowd for the concert, but were pleasantly surprised to find a nearly packed house for the concert, an always welcome sight for the musicians.
The roads may have been treacherous, but it sure was incredibly beautiful with the snowfall and Holiday lights.
Sunday morning, at the Nikolaus Tag & Open Haus of the Germanic American Institute in St. Paul. Borsalino Alessandria, mit feder.
The Institute is housed in a beautiful, Beaux-Arts mansion on Summit Avenue, dating to 1906.
Flurries still around on Sunday. It could not have felt more seasonal to see the grand old mansions of Summit Avenue covered with a beautiful blanket of snow.
Quel Horreur!! But many thanks for posting the Borsalino shot. You ROCK that hat.
