On a spring-like day, it's a good idea to avoid getting a sunburn.

My Dad lost most of his hair by the time he reached the age of thirty. Later in life, he took to wearing a beret to avoid a sunburned bald spot.

In this early photo, Dad crafted a sun shield from a handkerchief. He also positioned a leaf under the bridge of my eye glasses. He likely used the leaf as a way of mimicking my Mom's nose guard.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada, July 1964. Dad and are cautious in the sunshine.
