Umbrella...

...best put to use to shade a tropical drink on a sunny day down by the beach.

...ok, so I had an assistant to take the picture...and pick up my tab...

[- Andrea -]

Sounds and looks like a pretty good day to me!

[Lisa Staff]

[Elizabeth Hanna]

Looking good! But too cold here for that sort of drink today!

[Mrs. Smith]

Good idea for the letter U and for you as well...Nice to take a break!

[Kay Taylor]

Great shot...looks like an ad for a travel brochure.

[Della]

colorful and the drink looks yummy :)

[Barb]

really adorable shot and clever use of umbrella :o)

[Andrea Freeman]

wish i was there where the only umbrellas i will see today are the ones to keep away this dreadful rain

[Theresa C Paige]

What a great shot Louise! I agree with Andrea, much better use of an umbrella then what we have going on up here. Love the colors of the drink.

[Karen Hurd (hwy61)]

Love all the colors in this shot, and you look very pretty too! Glad you had a pretty day to enjoy and relax (with your "assistant!")

[Mommy, I'm Home]

Oh, that drink looks good -- and I don't even drink!

[Cheryl McWilliams]

clever!

[Louise & Ken]

...I believe the question was, what was in it? It's a "Blue Hawaii"...pineapple & coconut, maybe rum & blue curacao...not sure... I called around to find somepace that used the umbrellas, and then when I ordered, I specified glass shape, drink color, and the umbrella, of course! ("Nutty as a fruitcake" probably didn't even begin to cover what they were thinking...)

[Lindsey Horton]

fantastic photo and such a cute drink! i love that you went to such great lengths for your U photo. what dedication!!!

[Karen Hurd (hwy61)]

You are so clever. I never would have thought to go to that length to get a U photo!!!

[Louise & Ken]

...desperation was setting in!

[Elizabeth Hanna]

or obsession!

[Roey]

that looks fun~~ great idea!

[Elizabeth Hanna]

I presume you didn't mean to attack someone with a ulu! Good for slicing pineapple indeed.

[Vivian Pereira]

creative usage of umbrella!

[Tracy Baldwin]

Fun picture!

[Denise Vetromile]

your description of organizing this shot has me giggling ...

[Lauren Dahlhauser]

Hey Louise!!! Got your comment on my "dome" picture...I was going back and forth on two of the same house...and went with the wide-screen version because people were saying they liked that one better. Do you?

[Lauren Dahlhauser]

it worked :)

[Theresa Reagan]

This is my favorite kind of umbrella!

[Allison Williams]

Now THAT is a happy picture!

[Poliana Herszkowicz]

This is a fun shot! I really like it! Great umbrella! Here in São Paulo is raining so much that tomorrow we will need umbrellas and boats....
(I love drinks with Blue Curaçao! It reminds me of my Honeymoon in Curaçao!!!$

[Susan Klassen]

Fun picture! Beverage looks yummy. Very creative use of the letter U.

[Rebecca Mis]

Such a fun photo - I love it!

[Prairie Smoke]

How fun! What a refreshing way to get your U pic.

[Julie Cortens]

I'm all for assistants - especially those that pick up the tab.
Wonderful, delicious photo.

[Bonnie McClendon]

MMmmmmmm such a refreshing photo! Love it! :)

[Ellen]

I totally enjoy following you! I was going to do a similar idea for "U" but... drinking was not in my cards today :( sigh! LOL

[Autumn Eden]

So cute!

[Sue Stephenson (Swazzette)]

Well, hello there and yes, thank you, I'll take one, too! :-)

Thanks for checking in on me, Louise. Ha! I DO appreciate your concern, and YES, all is well. Or should I say, I'M well, but my little trusty Macbook has seen better days. It actually fried/died on Wednesday (arggghhhh!) so I had no access to the internet while away over the weekend. I will be trying to catch up this afternoon, so look for some new pics soon! Thanks again!! :-)

[Tiffany Elaine Everett]

cute! such a happy moment

[Brenda Ashley]

[Nicola Kilbane]

I love the colour the drink adds to the picture. And i now want a drink in the sun! I haven't been to the beach in three years!

[Jenna Richards]

Oh wow I can't wait to have one of those soon. I need it! VAcation is right around the corner and sitting on the beach, sitting a tropical drink sounds so nice. Cute picture!
