Hats

It seems to me that you have to reach a certain age to be able to pull off a straw hat. If you know George, you know he's pretty comfortable in his own skin.  That gleam in his eye reveals his zest for life and learning that is evident in any conversation with him.

And it just may be that the hat young Philemon is sporting may less appeal to him when he reaches adolescence.

Regardless of their choice (or mother's choice, perhaps, in Philemon's case) of headwear, I'm charmed by the easy connection they seem to have and the evident mutual interest in some object of attention just off camera.
