I like Mummert clips. And the hat fits great

I didn’t catch it at first. Was looking all over for the hat haha. Thought it was on top of the umbrella at first, until I looked at bottom of pic. Nice one! I’ll have to give the Mummert clips a try.
gorgeous pic!

In my experience, the site does that sometimes when inserting pictures directly that are juuuust a little too large for its liking. At least when doing so on a mobile device.Happy carrying these 3 today for my use and enjoyment. I used to carry a little Old Timer Might Mite with a liner lock as well to let people use if they ask to borrow a knife. It’s a cool old USA knife, so I still enjoy it myself, but wouldn’t be so bothered if someone abused it. I think I’ll start carrying it again.

? Why did my pic auto-rotate incorrectly?![]()
Digital cameras generate metadata along with the picture. In many phones, one of the parameters recorded is phone orientation. The default position is horizontal with the bottom of the phone to the right. If you hold the phone in a vertical position, the picture will be displayed 90 degrees one way or the other.Happy carrying these 3 today for my use and enjoyment.
