Waiting for the snow to melt!

Ready for either the rain or snow, hopefully the beach will appear soon!

This is great Kathy, wonderful processing. Fav

[Linda]

Terrific! Nice idea - it's about the only way we can use our umbrellas isn't it :)

[Call me Joe]

Favtastic composition-love the patterns on her scarf(?)

[Meredith McNay]

Wow an instant fav.

[Michelle]

Brilliant shot and perfect for the umbrellas theme.

[Julia]

Excellent picture for the umbrella theme! Love the falling snow and color selection.

[judith deacon]

Brilliant! Perfect for the theme...fav

[Taffy]

I really like the way you've used color in this -- great for the theme too (including the camera setting challenge one for high-key)

[Khawbecker]

Great use of selective blue!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

What catches my eye is the three color theme; white, black, blue. Neat, clean, bright and amusing.

[Islandgirl]

@taffy Thank you Taffy for suggesting that this photo would work in the camera setting challenge for high key, I hadn't heard about that challenge yet.
So now I have entered my first challenge!! :)

[Kathie]

Very effective with the use of limited colours. I think there's an umbrella challenge too

[Milanie]

Love your processing here, Kathy. Clever thought. I had never heard of the SX40 and 50 until last month's Popular Photography article. Sure am enjoying the weight and flexibility especially since I do most of my shooting while walking daily.

[Hope D Jennings]

Fabulous theme shot!

[Gena Pegg]

Really great shot...love that pop of blue. Nicely composed and processed. Yes...the umbrella can come in handy even on a sunny day. See many ladies walking around with them when it is really sunny out.

[Simply Amanda]

@radiogirl Great -- good luck with it! Entering challenges is also a good way to "meet" other 365ers.

[Peter Dulis]
