Umbrellas are saving places where people will watch the parade....

When we went to the parade on September 6, I saw this row of umbrellas which caught my artist fancy. It was a cool day with the threat of rain. We didn't actually need the umbrella but that's hindsight. We didn't know we wouldn't need them.

However, these umbrellas were serving another purpose. They were saving places for people to come watch the parade.

I liked seeing the shapes, the colors, the symmetry of the umbrellas lined up in a row.
