U/Alphabe-Thursday

Portable shade

U is for umbrella or umbrolly

Remember summer - seems so long ago, doesn't it - and that fashionable, colourful accessory,  the beach UMBRELLA?

 A very hot day

In this photo, it looks like some beach goers preferred to  be in the sun.

Sharing their shade

  7. Summer was just a couple weeks ago here, although we've had a few cool nights. But I do love the beach umbrellas because that is something that requires a rather long drive to see!

    It's finally cooling down here a bit. Sixty-one degrees this morning. I almost needed a jacket on the golf course.

  35. Summer??? Why does it disappear so fast. Monday was our last sunny and warm day and we took full advantage of it by playing and hiking.

    No rain yet--it has been 80days since any measurable rain but Friday it is supposed to start in again. Well we do need it.

    The umbrellas are quite gorgeous. MB

  48. As I listen to the first rain of the season, I'm thinking of another sort of umbrella!

    ReplyDelete
  49. We take this kind of umbrella to sporting events in the spring, summer and fall here in Arizona.

    It's the only shade around.

    People gather under the shade like ants to a picnic.

    I'm glad the weather is cooler now. I'm not missing my umbrella at all!

    Thanks for a fUn link for the letter "U".

    A+
