My very old umbrella... by marlboromaam

My very old umbrella...

kept me and my camera dry in yesterday's rain. Thought it deserved a place in my project. It's a very large umbrella and I've only used it at home, taken very good care of it. It's probably 33 years old. Great for walking visitors to their car on rainy days, especially my mom.
Lovely in b&w. Serene shot that tells a story.

Who would have thought an umbrella would make such a good picture! The B&W treatement actually accentuates the design!

I don't tend yo purchase off the internet… perhaps I should start

You are amazing. I agree with everyone--you make an umbrella look good. That is a gift, gal ; )

@beckys You are so sweet, Becky! Thank you!

@sugarmuser As long as it's a secure site! Why not?

@yonnie LOL! Thank you, Yvonne! I really appreciate your kind comments!

@marlboromaam Nothing is secure... Apparently there is spyware that is very affordable which uses The victims computer camera. They can see everything you type and even see what you look like ans are wearing...

@sugarmuser LOL! I would know if my iMac camera came on. My Norton internet security does the rest as long as I keep it up to date.

This is new... Was on the news last night...

@sugarmuser LOL! Well, there's nothing to see here! Nothing a hacker would be interested in. Pretty dull, actually!

What a great pov .... and just LOVE the b&w. Simple yet stunning. amazing work, girl.

@karenann Aww! Thank you, Karen! I really appreciate that you like my black and white shots. Most everyone only likes color. LOL! 'Tis the way of the world.

I love your b&w's, Maggie .... it's good to be back again. Got the new computer and they're fixing the old one. New bp meds are working. I am also taking a couple classes on photoshop (here in town!) Doubt if I will ever use it, but I might learn something. Camera classes for a few weeks too ... field trips around the area. Geez, Maggie. You'd think that my photos would improve, huh?! But, no. They are getting worse, I think. So I may miss a day or two here and there in the next few weeks. But by July or August, I should be back to normal. lol Whatever normal is. :)

Beautiful, peaceful shot.

WOW - that's an old umbrella! Mine just turn inside out and break... good for you!

@janets Thank you, Janet!

@lindag LOL! It's pretty old! It's been "the guest" umbrella. Thank you, Linda!

@karenann It's good that you're taking classes in PS! I think you'll find them useful later on. It's great that you're doing all these worthwhile things, Karen! You can only grow! You're photos have improved! Even the pros don't take 100 percent great pics! Remember that! Do what you have to do. I may have to pull back here on my time soon, too. I am going to have to tend to some things I don't want to, but have to. Wondering if the attempt will even be worth the effort. I see no signs of the economy improving.
