Project Cubbins: Hat One

In honor of the 75th anniversary of the publication of  Dr. Seuss' second book "The 500 Hats of Bartholemew Cubbins" (which, as you can read in the link below, played a pivotal role in my own fascination with headgear), I've decided to try and challenge myself to 500 different hats over 500 days. 

Hat One is a straw Scala hat purchased at the Carmel Hat Company on the occasion of a friend's wedding 

and accessorized with Orvis fly-fishing flies.
