The rite of Spring is on display in NYC’s 2011 Easter and Bonnet Parade. The city’s creative mad hatters celebrating the season continue the tradition since 1870.
Beautifully shot by Dave Bledsoe of FreeVerse Photography captured the frivolity. You can view his entire Flickr photostream clicking on this link. Happy Spring!

My favorite is the jelly bean hat. How much fun and being able to experience this.
Thanks for sharing these photos! I’d love to experience and photograph this event someday.
