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
I am linking to Jenny Matlock at Alphabe-Thursday HERE
Sharing shades is so sweet ! I like this sharing thing, a lot.
ReplyDeleteIt's chilly here .... I could use some beach weather right now :)
ReplyDeleteWhat goes around comes around. Summer will be back.
ReplyDeleteAch ja, dort wäre ich jetzt gerne...
ReplyDeleteLieben herbstlichen Gruß und Fröhlichkeit!
Cloudy
Seems like ages ago! And it is only October.
ReplyDeletelove how you call it "portable shade" ... sounds so cool. "warm" views there... needed that. it is chilly here. brr!! (:
ReplyDeleteSummer 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!
ReplyDeleteI love that they are all each of a different color and pattern.
ReplyDeleteI think we are going to need a rain version of these pretty soon.
ReplyDeleteDarla
You are bringing back some great summer memories.
ReplyDeleteOh these are great they make me long for the warm.
ReplyDeleteI love the colours and the shadows you captured. B
love all the colors and different styles of umbrellas.
ReplyDeleteI really like those colorful umbrellas. Your post has even helped me feel a little warmer on a cloudy, chilly day.
ReplyDeleteNice fond memories of summer especially of the beach umbrellas. Great post!
ReplyDeletemakes for lots of pretty colors. :)
ReplyDeleteIn Italian, with scarce fantasy, we call it 'obrellone' (big umbrella)!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful umbrellas, love the striped ones.
ReplyDeleteBright and colorful make believe shade!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the look back at warmer days. It's definitely a cold fall day here.
These are such nice photos to view when it's cold outside! Thanks for reminding me of summer!
ReplyDeleteThe color is the best part of umbrellas, the shade is nice also.
ReplyDeleteSummer? Not here. Rainy and in the 50s. Love the bright colors of those umbrellas.
ReplyDeleteI used my umbrella for the rain this morning but it is a colourful one!
ReplyDeleteOh what I would give to be sitting under one of those just now :)
ReplyDeleteThis is NOT Maine today... cold rain.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
ReplyDeleteHope you’re having a great week too,
Visiting from Alphabe-Thursday
What colorful umbrellas! I would love to be up high looking down on it all.
ReplyDeleteThe colors just seem to pop!
ReplyDeletelove it...
You mean this wasn't take yesterday?
ReplyDeleteIt's finally cooling down here a bit. Sixty-one degrees this morning. I almost needed a jacket on the golf course.
Lovely umbrellas!
A lot of your compadres have made their way back south...the roads and cafes are filling up again. Yikes!
Fantastic photography of 'umbrellas' for U ~ (A Creative Harbor)
ReplyDeleteI remember hot days!!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers from Cottage Country!
Those are beautiful and colorful umbrellas!
ReplyDeleteLove your photography / fun U post!:)
ReplyDeleteSummer doesn't seem so long ago here...it was still close to 100 up until today and now it is finally in the high 70s! We certainly have sand...but no ocean! :-(
ReplyDeleteWe're still summery, just a few miles from the Gulf. Haven't put the brollies away yet.
ReplyDeleteI just love photographing beach umbrellas...they are always so colorful. You did a great job with these photos!
ReplyDeleteI, too love photos of beach umbrellas. They add so much color to the scenery. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of beach umbrellas! It does seem like summer is so far away now!
ReplyDeleteFun brellaa and summer thinking. I love summer best.
ReplyDeleteSummer??? 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.
ReplyDeleteNo 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
Love those bright splashes of umbrollies!:) I needed this dose of sunshine, thanks! (The weather channel didn't forecast all this rain.) Summer, come back!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the beaches in southern France where you see so many colorful umbrellas in the sand. Fun!!
ReplyDeleteI'm lonesome for Florida now~
ReplyDeleteyou did a nice job capturing summer fun!
ReplyDeletePortable shade is a very good thing to have.
ReplyDelete=)
I'm counting the days until summer returns! Although I got a taste of warmer weather when we were back in Mississippi over the weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pictures! They make me want to go to the beach!
ReplyDeleteI am still happy to say farewell to summer. I love that last shot of the umbrellas!
ReplyDeleteAs the weather here gets cooler, it is fun to see the umbrellas and beaches!!
ReplyDeleteSun!!! What sun my umbrella has been for rain
ReplyDeleteGreat umbrella shots! I never really go to very crowded beaches anymore, but I definitely can relate to your first shot :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my Alphabe- Thursday: Underwater photos @ ImagesByCW
My beach umbrella stays in the back of my car so I can be ready at a moment's notice to go to our beautiful beach!!
ReplyDeleteI'll return to this post in about 4weeks just so I can remember what the sun looks like.
ReplyDeleteAs I listen to the first rain of the season, I'm thinking of another sort of umbrella!
ReplyDeleteWe take this kind of umbrella to sporting events in the spring, summer and fall here in Arizona.
ReplyDeleteIt'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".
