blue skies and pink umbrellas by summerfield

blue skies and pink umbrellas

early morning at the sugar beach, on our way home from our sunday breakfast downtown. why we stopped was because i saw a really huge freight ship that was unloading raw sugar at the sugar factory right beside this 'beach' and i like to take photos of these pink umbrellas every chance i get.

when we got home at ten-thirty, i laid down for a nap but when i woke up it was already two in the afternoon. which means i slept for more than three hours. i was having a dream and i wanted to wake up but i couldn't. partner did come into the bedroom twice and i was yelling at him to wake me up but he didn't. he said i looked so relaxed so he didn't bother me. it was quite a long dream and certainly a long nap.

it was a beautiful day today in toronto, a tad bit hot around mid day to early afternoon but it soon cooled down to a decent enough temperature that partner and i went for a walk and took in the 'taste of the danforth' festival for a few minutes.

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated. special thanks for your generous favs on yesterday's photo.
Nice summery shot :). Where'd you go for breakfast?

Getting the level of those umbrellas just right is so good! Is this sand here on the platform? Pretend beach? I know about those sort of dreams!

@maggiemae - yes, it is a pretend beach. people can't actually go on the water, and it is right next to a sugar mill and on the other side is a big building. this part of the lakeside is industrial. the sand is white-ish so it's not the local sand. i am wont to think that this was made mainly for the employees of the businesses housed in that building and generally for other people on weekends. thank you, maggiemae.

Looks like a great place to have a glass of iced tea and soak up some sun. Nice shot!

I really like the way you've positioned the tops of the umbrellas just under the line of the distant shore.

I so do love the pink umbrellas against the beautiful blue sky and water. FAV
