101:365 Close Call

11.04.2010

For April's Monthly Scavenger Hunt.

I found some cocktail umbrellas when I was sorting through some boxes the other day and decided I wanted to take a photo of one on the beach. Just as I was about to take the first shot, a gust of wind blew it right into the sea. I went running after it... Nope, gone! Then some kids started throwing sand around so I thought I better get the camera out of range. As I hadn't thought to bring a spare brolly, I was wandering around taking random beach shots when my rather soggy red brolly got washed ashore. Hoorah!

A year ago today everything was grey.
