You choose such a wonderful mix of sights for us to enjoy! I am rather keen on images of bird's nests and eggs at the moment, so the hat like a nest is one I loved seeing. The children's bonnets were all lovely, and I always enjoy the sight of a baby wearing bunny ears :) And seeing the ladies in their elegant costumes....I loved those! Hope you had a good Easter and enjoyed your chocolate bunny.<br />Wishing you a Happy April!<br />Helen xHelen Philippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085327303967055337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-15658365221727712082013-04-06T10:09:16.831-07:002013-04-06T10:09:16.831-07:00Such lovely photos - I enjoyed the little dog and ...Such lovely photos - I enjoyed the little dog and the baby but there was so much to make me smile.

Loved it!<br />Thank you for all your lovely comments on my blog.<br />I was very impressed to hear that you've met Georgia O'Keeffe. What a treat and how interesting. When we visited New Mexico in the early 80's it was very hard to find any information about her and now her home is a museum.<br />Have a lovely weekend!<br />xoxo IngridOF SPRING AND SUMMERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183768795401128985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-6929994109740661312013-04-05T09:57:07.800-07:002013-04-05T09:57:07.800-07:00Thank you for taking us on the Easter parade agai...Thank you for taking us on the Easter parade again this year.

Thank you for sharing with us Frances of your Easter Parade on Fifth Avenue.<br /><br />Sadly we have nothing like your Easter Parade here in England.<br /><br />Perhaps next year we could see you sporting a hat, perhaps get a kind person to click that photo for you.<br /><br />I adore hats, mine tucked away in a hat box for future occasions maybe. Although I have been sporting my Russian hat lately to keep me warm against the elements of the much cold weather we have had recently.<br /><br />xxCAMILLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741990891794651299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-70275871445674856032013-04-01T09:58:30.681-07:002013-04-01T09:58:30.681-07:00It would not be Easter without your Easter Parade ...It would not be Easter without your Easter Parade report Francis, your sharp eyes capture so many wonderful (and sometimes downright eccentric) details!Gretelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399585879728373265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-19764995206476652172013-04-01T09:47:20.931-07:002013-04-01T09:47:20.931-07:00I adore the vintage-dressed folks so much!

No-one is wearing a ushanka, which could I suppose, be decorated. From this I conclude that your weather is better than ours. <br />Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-8101081278594344692013-03-31T13:31:41.280-07:002013-03-31T13:31:41.280-07:00Fantastic post, Frances!
