The Easter Bonnet

I thought it would be fun to look at some Easter Bonnets this week, with the holiday on Sunday. It is such a wonderful tradition, and one to be kept going for sure!  The Easter Parade which took place in the 1870's gave more exposure to folks wearing their new hats/bonnets for the Easter holiday.  With the movie, Easter Parade (rent this if you have never viewed) in 1948, the popularity grew even more in the USA. 

I am not sure I would pick this hat but it for sure would cause laughter!

Are you wearing a hat this year for your Easter celebration? Do you remember family members wearing hats for Easter ? I used to be brought my Easter corsage from my Uncle Jimmy every Easter Sunday morning to wear to go to church. It was a wonderful memory I do cherish.

The Fabulous Doors of the Upper West Side

This photo above is iconic New York. The fabulous door, in such detail, and the flowers on the ledge. I had the pleasure in 2013 of really walking around the Upper West Side and photographed many amazing doors. You have to wonder, what does it look like inside? Is it glamour or casual? The detail around the doors is usually just as amazing as the doors themselves. This is why you need to leave the tourist areas of the city, and walk around where folks actually live to see the true New York City. I hope you enjoy these shots as much as I did taking them! 

Did you have a favorite? Hard to pick, isnt' it ? Just a true joy to see these in person, and on a lovely day, priceless. No charge whatsoever to roam around the city, maybe pick up a gelato on the way, and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you.
