ABC Wednesday: U is for Umbrella

A couple of years ago when we were visiting Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, there were a lot of people under umbrellas during the reenactments.

The soldiers were toughing it without umbrellas but the spectators were under their umbrellas.

I found the next two shots in my photo archives too with a different kind of umbrella.

These umbrellas give people shade while eating.

SandyCarlson said...: These are great shots. The reenactment must have been good fun. The hard-core reenactors around here would do just about anything to go on with the show.

Your umbrella shots are fun. Seems like forever ago when we could eat outside.; December 6, 2011 at 8:55 PM

Penelope Notes said...: Couldn’t resist dropping by after seeing the topic of your post, Carver. That is an interesting capture of the soldiers with only historical hats to keep their heads dry while most everyone else has an umbrella. :); December 7, 2011 at 8:16 AM

Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...: You have a nice collection of umbrellas. Like a lot of other Oregonians, when we're there we hardly ever bother with umbrellas -- we just dash in and out between showers.; December 7, 2011 at 5:39 PM
