Not quite what we were hoping for for our family gathering...my sister on her way into town to get the last bits and pieces needed as part of the ongoing preparations for the masses arriving tomorrow.
Look at that gorgeous, gorgeous umbrella! That is outstanding. BTW I know how you feel about the rain - it's been raining here in Brisbane all week arm quite frankly I'm thinking about filing a complaint. I'm just not sure who would listen :-)
This photo is not bringing out the worst of rain :D But I like it! The unusual perspective is nice and the diagonals of the pathway and slip of grass bring great contrast for the umbrella.
