Hats for the Rose Garden
Comments (21)Doctor's orders are not to set foot outside without a hat and sunscreen 365 days a year. Like that's going to happen. Over the years I've bought two high UV-protection, wide brim, Panama hats with lining in both the brim and crown. At the first opportunity, my d@amned old dog sat on both of them. I still wear those hats, but they're...interesting-looking. For company, I wear straw hats sold at hardware stores for $12. I need a new one every year. The Panamas have been a better value in the end. Even all torn up and 50 bux each, they've lasted 15 years. I like a 4 inch brim so that it shades my face. Beware brims that hang down in front of your eyes You have to tilt your head up to see and that's a neckache in the making. I'm partial to natural materials, finding them the coolest. I consider hats made of artificial fibers (aka spun crude oil) a Satanic conspiracy. If you're not that kind of whackadoodle, then hats with polyester parts offer the best UV protection at the smallest cost. Stampede strings optional.

Comments (10)"Perhaps you could have done a close up shot?" I will try to repost the one I already had shared with my family which is 800X600 and embed it. That's what it appears you did. I have my own domain, it was already out there, but being new, I thought you could only upload photos. So I had to scrunch it down which I hate to do to an alread-processed photo but didn't want to reconvert from RAW. Haven't worked out a good workflow yet. I'm not real conversant in all the various lenses yet, but I don't have anything longer than 135. I got lucky with that bird. My garden and home repairs have quashed my dreams for a 100-400 or the Sigma 50-500 this year. One has to make choices and prioritize. I got down on the ground and was practically in that bird's face. If I go too close with the 28-135, it won't lock focus, I wanted to fill the frame, still didn't want to spook the bird into flying away if it was able to. Then would the bird have waited for me to swap lenses if I had a longer one? 70-300 is not a good lens (for me now) to leave on the camera for general purpose but great to have that reach when you have time to change lenses....See MoreWould you wear, or do you wear?
Comments (38)I hate hats too and living in SD there are times in the winter when I need one but my head itches so bad I cant stand them. As for hair extensions, no I wouldnt. I would never spend that kind of money on it for one thing and it would drive me nuts when my head itches like it does all the time. I worked with a girl who had them. She was half white and half black. She spent a lot of money to have them put in. This was when she was in high school. Then she couldnt afford to have themmaintained so you could always see the little rubber band things in her hair and it really looked stupid. Now she is attending hairdresser college and she has them in again and I still dont like them.So NO not for me....See MoreSunglasses -- what are you wearing?!
Comments (33)Thanks all.. I wish I could make cheap sunglasses work. Even sunglasses in a mid price range. Unfortunately, I need prescription lenses-- that with the $400 frames puts my sunglasses in the 1k range. I guess all the more reason to be sure I love them. What I really liked about the Stella sunglasses is the shape on my face and the way they fit. (I have a big nose but a narrow bridge and not all glasses sit well. These feel secure because they are held by the side of the nose.) I am less in love with the chain on the side but I do like the bit of bling and interest Walnutcreek, I think your Versace have a similar shape and I really like them. I may give them a try also. Lars-- I like your Versace glasses too! How fun are they? I think I will keep looking-- but I am definitely embracing the thought of sunglasses that make a bit more of a statement! Cropped most of my face out because it was a beast of a day and my skin and hair look terrible!...See More- 9 years ago
