Ooooh more pretty ones!
Besides the hats, you know what cool?
I adore how some cultures in the Middle East (Persians in my experience) and Arabians in this case throw a carpet on the ground out side and hang out. I LOVE THIS! REALLY!!!

More than saying GORGEOUS, dearest Tara! I'm impressed very much by each of them, and You. You're a very talented to bring these beauty in front of our eyes with one click. No.8 and 23 photos are my most faves.
