My New Umbrella by kwind

My New Umbrella

I spotted this umbrella yesterday and I fell in love with the colours... so I bought it!! Although the weather was dreary by mid day, my bright new umbrella put me in a happy mood. Hope you had a lovely Wednesday!

Thanks for all your comments on my chocolate shots from yesterday. I'm diabetic so I only ate a couple of them. My kids happily consumed the rest of the collection.

Here's my feature-4-feb shot from today if you're interested: http://365project.org/kwind/extra-shots/2013-02-06

Very nice and bright :) I had a nice bright one, but the handle broke :(

@ozziehoffy That's so sad! I bought a gorgeous rainbow one in the summer while visiting Seattle. My daughter used it once has a walking stick and the thing fell apart. I was not impressed! This one feels much sturdier and it was half the price of the other one.

Nice big splash of color to brighten your day!

I'm also in love with your umbrella.
February 7th, 2013  
@pflaume I don't have photoshop. I use Aperture (by Apple) for the majority of my processing but sometimes I play around on Picmonkey, which is what I did with this shot.
February 7th, 2013  
@kwind Thank you for your reply!
February 7th, 2013  
@jcarrollphoto Thanks, Jim. I used a Picmonkey layer (erased over the umbrella) because the sky was just plain white in the original. I thought it needed something.
February 7th, 2013  
What a happy shot! Love your new bumbershoot!
February 7th, 2013  
@edorreandresen I've never heard an umbrella called that... I like it! Where are you from??

February 7th, 2013  
@titam Thanks, Menarose. This one took five minutes to take and about 15 to edit.

Wonderful focus and even when it rains your day will be bright with this. love the sky, or whatever it is in the background.
February 8th, 2013  
Looks wonderful!
February 8th, 2013  
@sailingmusic The background is the painted texture from pic monkey. The original was a boring bright white so I thought I'd try to jazz it up a bit. Thanks for the comment.
February 8th, 2013  
I like this one because of your shadow inside.
February 8th, 2013  
So colorful and cheery -- love the painted sky! Fav!
February 8th, 2013

@m9f9l I do like this one. I think the jumping one of my daughter with the same umbrella might work in her room. Thanks for the suggestions. First day of school today, I gotta run!
September 3rd, 2013  
Yup.. when I saw this I thought of her room!LOL
