Alan I really like the portrait of the astronomer as well as the 2nd planet from the Sun. Would you believe it, on the last night of the Venus-Jupiter conjunction we have howling winds and a cold, cold rain. :mad: Glad you have clear skies and were able to capture this celestial meeting...
This stray certainly went to a very good home. Congrats on the new addition to your menagerie!
Outstanding, seldom encountered color for Dobbs, and you pull it off with ease. I would vote for keeping the rich burgundy grosgrain ribbon. To my eyes it complements the bold felt color, and...
BR: Thanks! Not quite the Panama weather you have down Chile way, but I will gladly take what I can get.
Alan: I deeply appreciate your awfully kind comments...as always!
Steve: Magnificent Mayser!
Randall: Thank you! It just felt right.
Ale: My wholehearted thanks! :D
I am hopelessly behind in commenting on the myriad beautiful hats posted to this thread over the past week and weekend, so will instead proffer a collective :eusa_clap to everyone as I look forward to yet another wonderful week of great lids.
My contribution from this past weekend, a rather...
Great to see another epee fencer here. Hope you get back to fencing again, and don't let Steve talk you into switching to saber, either! ;)
Sounds good!
Ahh...footwork and drills, the bane of every fencer's existence. I think you would look smashing with a fencing mask on, Alan...
I can see how it may seem intimidating and overwhelming, Ale, but do not let that stop you from visiting a few clubs and talking with the coaches and fencers. I am certain that you will be enthusiastically welcomed and introduced to the sport. Remember that you are evaluating the clubs, and...
I am really liking your spec-less computer portraits of late, Perry! The unusually warm weather has brought out the straws early this year, along with the new leaves and flowers. Panamas in March...I love it!
Awesome! Congrats on a fine result at NAC, Steve! We fence at the Twin Cities Fencing Club with Ro(Roberto) Sobalvarro, a great coach and dear friend. Ro was a top level sabreur back in the day, and has produced his share of top-ranked fencers in all three weapons. He has been the US...
Outstanding pictorials, Jeff and Steve!
Jeff: Wonderful portrait of you, and I am glad Eric posted it to the thread. The Black Hills is a stirring and deeply soulful place for us.
Steve: Aha, so you were at the NAC in Cinncy? Fencing VET, I presume? Ryan and I are USFA fencers as...
Manfred: No worries at all. The heather green looks darker in my available light, night photos than in hand, so I can see how it would appear black on your monitor.
Ale: Looking well cooled in your vVS. I really like your use of the 2mm holes in the corners as it gives it that extra bit of...
Thank you for your very gracious comments, gents!
Ale: Graham's Milans are exquisite. Glad it worked out for you. ;)
Perry: Too kind, as always!
jbucklin: That Heritage Fawn is a great color on you! Thanks for your kind remarks.
Manfred: Danke! The dark green heather felt lid is...
Saturday afternoon. Really too warm for anything but straw. Optimo Milan.
A wee bit from St. Paul in honor of St. Patrick Saturday evening. Orchestra Hall, Minneapolis.
Enjoying a gentle south breeze and late supper at our favorite, Vincent, after the concert. St. Patrick's revelers...
job: Great set of photos with your family!
BR: Your Montecristi ribbon perfectly matches the wine. Cheers :cheers1:
Manfred: Thanks for the wonderful photos! The thrill is in the chase! ;)
Alan: Another breathtaking solar image. Well done!
Jeff: Great photos, and I concur with Alan on the house. At least your were not told to "Beware The Ides Of March"! lol
;) lol :eyebrows:
By the way, Alan, your Little Big Man is the bomb! :eeek: Astro-Physics instruments are incredible. Veritable works of optical art. It is too bad that they no longer make their 10" Maksutov-Cassegrain.
Alan: Another Borsalino precious metal. Looks super.
Ale: Really like this Whippet on you. Something rogue about it. Must be the crease.
Manfred: Best wishes for a speedy recovery for your wife. Nice looking lid today!
Josh: Outstanding job on that Milan. Love the ribbon.
