How Umbrellas Are Used Around the World….

Comments Off on How Umbrellas Are Used Around the World….

April Showers bring May flowers.  And they also bring out the umbrellas around the world.  One of the first things that surprised me when I was traveling in Asia was that people used umbrellas when it wasn’t even raining.  I used to think it was strange, until I realized what a great way it was to shade yourself from the intense sun of Southeast Asia or the Middle East.  Now a little travel umbrella is one of my ‘must pack’ items  – they are small and helpful rain or shine!

I’ve collected a few of my favorite umbrella shots from around the world to celebrate this last day of April…and spring showers…
