Umbrella Boat by pcoulson

Umbrella Boat

Wet and windy day today walking around the boating lake I saw this chaps umbrella fly out his hand straight into the lake just had to take the shot as he stood there wondering what to do, fortunately the wind carried it to the other side of the lake and he managed to retrieve it.
Hahahahaha!!! Sorry really shouldn't laugh at his misfortune but looking at this it either looks like you can read his thoughts as to how to get it back...or he's using it as a remote controlled boat! ⛵ Perfect timing Peter!
