SPRING INTO HATS! ...EASTER PARADE 2011


It was the first time I have been to an Easter celebration in the city.  I joined to crowd around the St Patrick's Cathedral and APPARENTLY its all about the hats.  I did not expect this at all.  The street was blocked off for a crowd of  flower covered people.  It was the spring form of Halloween.  Absolutely amazing and cheerful.  Sunshine and flowers and smiling faces.



This was my favorite couple, reminds me of some dahli costumes in a photograph by Horst:
Hats arent only for the ladies:






But the ladies wear them with such grace:



AND the next place we see full of hats is the Royal Wedding, here is a link to some colorful hat creations and their wearers:
