Came across this cool display of umbrellas on a side street in London!
Loved the colours and shapes of the umbrellas! I been meaning to take photos of this for a while! Finally got around to doing it!
Thanks for Faves & comments as always :-)
Ekaterina sits on the bench with her umbrella up. She likes listening to the rain... as long as her clothes stay reasonably dry. It's a hypnotic sound <3

J'ai fait un rêve…
…
De gentils nuages se baladaient
Dans un ciel très bleu
Que joyeusement le soleil illuminait,
Et beaucoup plus qu'un peu
Rendant alors indispensable,
L'ombre des grands parasols
Où l'on rêve de grandes plages de sable,
ou de vertes prairies où courent les herbes folles…
…
Oui mais voilà que je m'éveille, que le réel reprend le dessus, et dans un coin, mon parapluie me dit, l'air un peu triste, allez savoir pourquoi :"mais pourquoi me regardes-tu comme ça, tu ne m'aimes plus ?" Évidemment je l'assure du contraire, lui expliquant que j'avais fait un mauvais rêve, une histoire de printemps, une histoire de beau temps, mais que tout allait bien maintenant, et que non, pas question de le laisser tomber, et d'ailleurs sans plus tarder, ensemble nous filons nous promener ;o))
ENGLISH :
In recent days, we would have liked to have an umbrella like this ...
I had a dream ...
...
Kind clouds were walking
In a very blue sky
Which the sun lit up happily,
(And more than a bit),
Making essential
The shade of large umbrellas,
Where people dreamed of long sandy beaches,
or green meadows where the weeds ran ...
...
Yes, but now I wake up, the reality takes over, and in a corner of my home, my umbrella asks me, a bit sad, who knows why:
"Why do you look to me like that, don't you love me anymore?"
Of course, I assure him of the contrary, explaining that I had a bad dream, a story of spring, a story of fine weather, but that everything will be OK now, and that :
"no, out of the question to abandon you, .... besides, without further ado, together we'll rush outside to go for a walk ;o))
Memory Lane umbrellas. Creative way to attract tourists to visit an old lane. Located in Kampung Cina, Kuala Terengganu
CORNELIA: "Oh my! It's 12:02 and I said I would meet my best friend Moesje at 12:00, however it's not anyone's fault. Fairy Mum is kept very busy weaving her magic all over the place. But now on my way to Moesje after walking through the magic portal between Daddy's house and Mummy Marian's house. Goodness! It's raining like cats and dogs here in Groningen! Luckily I remembered to bring my umbrella as well as my fancy old handbag that Daddy calls by another name.
I am nearly there, my best friend! Please wait for me! I can't wait to see you and go shopping!"
*Gasps and sighs with relief when she sees Moesje standing under a red umbrella, awaiting her arrival.*
"There you are Moesje, my best friend! I'm so sorry to keep you waiting! Poor Fairy Mum was a bit late opening the portal between Daddy's house and Mummy Marian's house because there was a girl who needed a pretty gown to wear to a ball, but she only had rags to wear. Still, Fairy Mum sorted a pretty dress for her, and now I am here!
I hope you are ready to shop up a storm!" *Giggles.* "We'll buy nail polish for your paws and lipsticks that suit both our muzzles, oh and lace for you Moesje, so you can have a new frock, and perfume and ribbons and some chocolate too! We mustn't forget the chocolate!"
My bear Cornelia has made friends with a little bear named Moesje www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/galleries/721577217879.... Moesje is a beautiful Bukowski Bear from Paal in Belgium. She has come to live with Mummy Marian (Marian Kloon (on and off)).She had been waiting in the dark corner of a shop with other bears for a long time, hoping someone would pick her up. All the bears were picked up, except Moesje. An appeal was made on the Internet and Mummy Marian sprang into action immediately! Moesje needs friends to love her, and Cornelia did not hesitate, for she has so much love to give to Moesje. Now Moesje's days are full of happiness. Moesje is awaiting Cornelia underneath her own red brolly as you can see here: www.flickr.com/photos/66094586@N06/53698250463/ or in the first comment below.
I love and collect vintage and antique accessories, including umbrellas and parasols, some going back as far as the mid 1800s. However, Cornelia is holding a stub handled Art Deco parasol from the 1920s, as can be clearly seen by the gaily coloured Jazz Age stylised floral pattern on the inside. It is a rarity amongst my collection, which is made up mostly of British pieces. This is an American example, made by The Perfection Manufacturing Company, which was located at 826 to 830 South 18th Street, St. Louis, Missouri.
Cornelia, I found in an antique and vintage market quite recently. She is a vintage edition Russ Bear from their Mohair Collection. She is made of deliberately mottled mohair to give her that vintage look. One of a limited edition of 10,000, she was designed by artist Carol Hosfstad and is completely handmade.
The Umbrella Movement or Occupy Central, protest for democratic election of Chief Executive in Hong Kong was ended on 15 December 2014.
The Hong Kong and China government did not make any changes to the election system.
What will be the next to happen and what are the lessons we would take from the Umbrella Movement?
This is a sculpture I saw in my neighbourhood.
Have a great weekend!
Rome in the rain this afternoon, The 3 girls with colourful umbrellas were too good to miss. The yellow Zebra lines are a plus too (ever seen a yellow striped.Zebra?)
