My original plan for this weekend was to go out to west Texas and see the observatory (Peter’s been out working at the telescope there), but I caught a bit of a cold, so I ended up being home instead. To amuse myself, I took a series of photos of paper umbrellas, which I think came out pretty nice:
There are several other shots on flickr, including a few featuring gummy bears:
Stay tuned later today for a post about making apple upside-down cake…
Those photos are great!
What surface is the row of umbrellas on? The floor just seems to melt seamlessly into the wall/background.
Thanks Amy! The umbrellas are sitting on my kitchen table, with the wall behind them.
Hey Amy! It was nice to see you in brief flashes at Apollocon!
You too!
Mm, I love me some umbrellas. (did you know I have a bit of an umbrella fetish?) I especially love the globe version.
I have a set of slightly, more elaborate paper umbrellas if you ever want to play with them.
Oooh, thanks! You have some really pretty umbrellas. I might take you up on that offer :)
Oh, and that was meant to be slightly larger, more elaborate paper umbrellas.
Oooh! Love the multi-umbrella pic!
