Umbrellas




One week of Indian 

summer in the

beginning of

September slipped

quickly away and

boring weather with

frequent rains and

winds is regrettably

back.


                    Lucky me, I always loved umbrellas!



Not quite sure why. May be it came from childhood - playing Mary Poppins (and checking weather forecast for the west wind) or admiring (with light envy) my stylish grandma with her beautiful umbrellas for any occasion?


No, that's not my grandma :)
Audrey Hepburn by ...?


Or maybe it's from living in rainy Copenhagen and seeing more than enough rains one can experience in the whole life? Well, whatever the reason is, why shouldn't elegant and lush ladies look beautiful when it rains?


I wouldn't say that I'm a great collector of brollies, but I definitely love and enjoy them, whether it's a lively Pasottti or an extravagant Jean-Paul Gaultier

I love them all and thankful for being my true friends and keeping me dry!

"There are two types of creators in the world. One type of creator works with objects - a poet, a painter, they work with objects, they create things. The other type of creator, the mystic, creates himself. He doesn't work with objects, he works with the subject; he works on himself, his own being, he makes himself into a masterpiece."
