Theme Day: umbrellas

Today is City Daily Photo's monthly Theme Day.  Because I'm so literal, I'm posting the only umbrella photo in my archive.  Paper umbrellas are fragile, colorful, and charming.  Taken at the 2012 White Elephant Sale.  For more umbrella interpretations from around the world, visit City Daily Photo.

    And they are very nice, too. Keep them away from the rain!

    I'm so glad you took this picture back then. We never know when we'll need to pull up a pic for Theme Day. :)
    They are pretty in their delicacy.

    I think this belongs in a parasol category; lovely patterns and colors.

    This is a colorful collection and I am glad that you had them to show for theme day. The nearest thing that I would be able to find to these are the little drink umbrellas on "beach beverages." Love seeing the bright lighting to show their colors.

    Bises,
    Genie
