I keep using the URL to put in the badge above but I'm unaware about what the letters actually signify. I shall get off this post and directly find out. 

Here are the photos for today - U is for umbrella and V is for visitor, which is what my role is in all photographs posted here, though I am not visible in them. That's because I'm behind the camera, eyes glued to  the viewfinder.



Umbrellas at the White House. Washington DC.

In case you were wondering - an umbrella is an umbrella and not a parasol when it's made from a waterproof material. An umbrella can be used as a parasol, and it is often used so in India. But a parasol can't be used as an umbrella - it will not protect against rain. Now you know which to carry when.  


That's all for today. Hope you've enjoyed the photos. Happy A-Zing! - if you're participating, in the home stretch now! And happy cusp season to you, if you're not!

  3. Umbrellas make a photo better. It would be a sad rainy day for you if you went out with a parasol.

  6. Hi Nila - carrying one is bad enough - to get me to chose from two ... never! My thoughts turned to UV for sun rays ... why: I don't know - at least we have some now - cheers Hilary
