Please allow me to present my daughter Helen, wearing an Easter bonnet she made yesterday afternoon. I hope you will agree it is a very colourful and creative piece of headgear.
May I also take this opportunity to wish you a very happy Easter. Whatever you are doing and however you are celebrating, I hope you have an enjoyable time and can make the most of the extended weekend break.
I like the image a lot, but if I could change one thing, I’d lose the shadow in the background. I thought this might be an issue when I took the shot but I didn’t have time to get my studio lights out. Alas, I’ll just have to live with it!
For the amateur photographers among you, here are the technical details for this picture. It was shot in auto mode, aperture was f3.5, ISO 1000, focal length 18mm and exposure time 1/60 sec.

Such a lovely, happy photo. She’s even got rabbits on her dress!
Happy Easter to you all.
I hadn’t made the connection with the rabbits but it works well doesn’t it?
Helen’s looking very pleased with her headgear and rightly so, what a great bonnet! I think the 4 day weekend has come as a welcome relief for many, we certainly needed it. Glorious on Friday too, hopefully we’re egg hunting today if the rain doesn’t appear! Enjoy the rest of your Easter 🙂
We had a great break Charly. Hope your Easter egg hunt went well.
I love the photos even with the shadows and what a gorgeous hat, I’d be very proud to wear that too. Happy Easter, have a wonderful day.
Thanks Anne, glad the shadow didn’t put you off!
What an awesome looking bonnet. I hope you and the family have an amazing Easter.
Happy Easter
Thank you for linking up
We had a great Easter Darren. Off to watch your Easter egg hunt video shortly.
Feathers always make for a more impressive hat. Helen just might have the makings of a Milliner.
I think you may be correct, Helen could be a milliner in time.
That’s a pretty spectacular bonnet and a lovely posed photo of Helen.
N’s school made their ‘crowns’ in school for a parade. I was quite impressed with his – it was finished for one thing. Usually he gives up halfway through.
Enjoy your easter too.
We had a great Easter and hope you did also. Loving the idea of Easter crowns. I guess they’re a bit more inclusive on the boys than a bonnet.
What a great Easter bonnet. I love it. Well done!
Happy Easter x
Hope you and yours had a happy Easter Kim. Glad you liked the hat.
Love her hat, it looks amazing! And, she looks so pleased 🙂 Lovely photo John, and gosh, she looks like you! Happy Easter, hope you’re having a lovely day x
Thanks Sara, we had a great day. We do look quite alike don’t we?
So pretty, some people really suit hats and Helen is one of them.
You know what, Helen has always look quite good in hats now you come to mention it. I hadn’t really thought of it like that.
That is a beautiful hat on a beautiful girl. She looks so pleased, and she should be!
Thanks Efra. She was very pleased with her hat and only too happy to show it off on Sunday when we took her to church for the Easter service.
Your girl is looking so grown up and that is a great effort with the Easter Bonnet. I don’t think the shadow matters at all. Happy Easter #MySundayPhoto
Yes Victoria, Helen gets bigger every day. it won’t be long until she’s as tall as her mother.
What a lovely and bright hat and she looks very pleased with her creation. Hope you had a lovely Easter x
Thanks Tracey, we had a great Easter and yes, the hat is very colourful indeed.
Great photo, Helen looks thrilled with her bonnet I must say it has a bit of a cow girl feel about it, hope you are all having a great Easter x
Cow girl, I hadn’t thought of that! I see what you mean though.
Lovely smile and yep the hat is awesome! #mysundayphoto
Glad you like the hat Merlinda….and the smile, of course!
Awwww she looks amazing she did an awesome job and I love that they still do Easter bonnets at school I loved it as a kid!
I like the fact they seem to do Easter Crowns so that it is more inclusive of boys. Nice touch that.
Love the feathers on Helen’s Easter bonnet – she did a great job! Hope you had a lovely Easter 🙂
We had a great Easter thanks Louise. Hope you did also.
