Betty and her Hat

Alice Springs, AUS

Out of the Past

From time to time I’m taking advantage of posting some favorite images from the past. I had an excellent lunch this week with Dick and Betty Beske. They were trip mates in Australia, and this is Betty posing in her hat which helped to keep the sand flies away.

Thank you for your kind comments about my stint of being “under the weather.”

I'll bet you have a ton of great archived shots.

You needed them on a cattle station my Uncle owned (many years ago now) those
flies would cadge a ride where they could, and the old akubras always needed the
corks...but they never looked like this green & gold affair :) Nice shot though.

I don't know a single person in Australia who has ever worn corks on their hat...other than the tourist. !!

I love the hat and the portrait. All I can think of is what those corks would do to my ADD!

When i first saw the thumbnail i wondered "what has Robin thought up for a SP?"...:) Very nice portrait, Robin.

Nice portrait but I cannot for the life of me see how this would keep sand flies away.
