When viewing my galleries it is clear I have a love of umbrellas.  The idea first came to me while watching my idol, Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face for the 100th time.  The beautiful image of her in Paris with the balloons is one of my favorites.  The glorious sea breeze in Myrtle Beach makes balloons a bit difficult, so I gravitated toward the umbrella.  I have used them several times, and have especially grown to love the red umbrella on the beach.  The pop of red against the blues and tans of the beach are wonderful.  Here are a few of my favorite umbrella photos.
