It’s the first of the month, City Daily Photo’s Theme Day. February’s theme is “Umbrellas.”
I don’t care for rain umbrellas. If they don’t turn inside out they become shields and I feel like I’m walking a battering ram. Where we live people don’t seem to use rain umbrellas; a hood will do. And sun umbrellas? By the time we get sun in spring and summer most people seem so starved for vitamin D that they’re almost counterintuitive.
This is the kind of umbrella this Pacific Northwester longs for on the first of February: the little paper one on tropical drinks of garish colors with dreamy, sun-kissed ingredients. The kind you get when there’s a white sand beach nearby, splashed with turquoise waves, and the air’s warmed up to a balmy 80 degrees F. Yep. My kind of umbrella right just about now.

Interest choice for a umbrella theme.
You are very creative. Super take on the theme! I hope you are able to find and enjoy this kind of umbrella over the weekend! Funny commentary, too.
Re your comment on Ocala: You may be right. I’d have to go back and take a closer look. It is possible I jumped to a conclusion. Hope not, ’cause it would be the first mistake I’ve ever made. I used to tell my students that and they’d guffaw and make lots of funny noises. That wasn’t nice, was it?
Ha — that’s a great take on today’s theme. Fun. I can honestly say I’ve only had one umbrella drink ever. Perhaps it’s time to change that. Have a super Friday!
Very tropical!!!
I am so glad that you came up with this idea. I had the umbrellas but no ice 🙂
Haha, that is a great ‘take’ on umbrellas! I’ll have one too:)
Just the perfect umbrella to dream about on a cold winter day!
Fabulous photo for theme day…
Happy Theme Day 🙂
I was really hoping someone would do the cocktail brolly. This is my kinda brolly. Cheers.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to transport the umbrellas, sunglasses, and thirst-quenching beverage to sea and sand?
I’m with you – that’s definitely my kind of umbrella!
This kind of umbrella, I wouldn’t mind using everyday!
This is the first parasol in a drink photo I have seen today. I wondered if anyone would do it. Yours is nice and colorful.
Now those are fine umbrellas!
Cool idea and interpretation for this theme day, well done!
Very cute! A great interpretation, Kay.
Super take on this month’s theme day. I didn’t even think of these cute umbrellas!
now we’re talkin’….this is my kind of umbrella 🙂
