New Summer Hat by phil_howcroft

New Summer Hat

My Summer hat got a bit battered on our recent holiday to Mallorca, so last weekend I bought another one !

A sun hat for when it is really hot !

A pork pie hat !

So here I am modelling it for when we get a hot sunny day , which btw is NOT sometime soon according to the weather forecast !!!

I got Jane to take this pic on my Sony Alpha 6000 (kit lens.... well only lens actually)

The sun has got its hat on, hip hip hip hooray! Very chic Phil! Hoping it won't be too long before you are wearing that!

Lookin' good! I have always gotten a kick out of the name "pork pie hat" Does a pork pie differ from cherry pie, apple pie, shepherd's pie? How did Jane like the 6000?

@happypat I hope so too Pat :)

@allie912 allison a pork pie is a chopped pork and pork jelly filling in a crust pastry. Not a delicacy I eat ! The pork pie hat is because the top of the hat resembles a pork pie !!!! Jane just clicked the shutter, but I think she likes how small it is :)

@allie912 ..... oh and it looks like this ....not quite cherry pie / apple pie ....

Fav for your lovely smile. You can include this with your strangers project - sometimes we are strangers to ourselves, too. You look cool with that hat on. Congratulations to Jane for a lovely portrait capture - she is walking in your footsteps.

@kerristephens cheers Kerri 😀
@sangwann thanks dione. I have passed your congrats onto Jane 😀

@Cherrill Cherhill the t-shirt is just a nice contemporary print I liked. Try adding 7 to the age 😀

A great observation about sometimes being strangers to ourselves.
