June Words #19 - Weather

I thought I’d create a collage from my archives, depicting two types of weather - one rainy, one sunny.

The Mauritian population always needs an umbrella nearby, the micro climate we experience is often very unpredictable. One minute a downpour, next minute sunshine.

Interesting thing in the French language: when an umbrella is used for rain, it’s called a parapluie; when it’s used for the sun, it’s called a parasol.
I love this about learning french … it just is! This is it
Slowly I’m getting used to it.
You live an extremely beautiful island. Lovely photo…

quite right - if the French had their way, we’d all be carrying two umbrellas; one especially for rain, the other one especially for sun! Heaven help you if they're both the same colour... lol.

I like this diptych. Interesting about the names in French. They were called parasols in the Southern US many years ago.
