Today’s Photohunter theme is “hat”.
(click on pic to enlarge)

I hope this isn’t considered as cheating but I asked my friend, the lovely & talented Anneke (aka mudhooks), to place this crown (aka very fancy hat) upon the cute little head of Azar (aka my wordpress avatar).

There is a bit of a story behind this photo, which relates to the weekly BBC News Quiz hosted by blog buddy Archie every Friday. The lowest scoring person of the week is given the dreaded Dunce Cap to wear, and anyone getting a perfect 7/7 score is awarded The Crown. After having worn the dunce cap more times now than I care to remember, I was totally gobsmacked when I pulled off a perfect score in the January 9th quiz. And so this week I get The Crown, which as you can see  here is a traditional Spanish one and not the poncy St Edward British bling being offered over at the Archives.  😉

ps. I had originally thought of taking a pic of me wearing one of these fabulous hats, but it wouldn’t have arrived in time. And speaking of hats, if anyone is still seeing Santa Cat it’s time you cleaned your cache.
