Excursion

My husband took me to the Houston Center for Photography. Unfortunately it was really small and we were in and out within 10 minutes, but close by was the "Menil Collections" - an art museum. They had some incredible art, which I obviously was not allowed to take pictures of. What I also liked that there was a group of senior ladies visiting. They all wore something purple and had something red on their heads. I wanted to take their picture, but did not want to ask, so I tried this. Although my focus is off, I like this picture.
The red hat ladies! If you are 50 or older you wear the red hat & purple clothing and if you are under 50, ypu wear pink hats and lavendar clothing. I love to see them in a group like this. I love that it is out of focus with just that pop of color.

@lisammcloskey I never had heard of the red hat ladies, but after your comment I googled it.... Thank you Lisa!

Oh, yes!!! My mother was a red hat lady! She made lots of new friends and had so much fun participating in the various activities. Love your shot and I noticed those red hats even before I read your title and narrative. :-)

I asked to join the red hatters and they said I have to wear the colours but I would look awful in all purple so I didn't bother to pursue it any further. Shame they do some fun outings together.

@gaylewood - It was clear these ladies had a lot of fun!

@stephanies - for this group the fun they had together and to be out, definitely outweighed their odd looks. One even wore a big sun visor hat ;).
