a bit of shade May 11, 2004

I was walking to work one day and I saw this cute little Jonny Jump-up being all lonely-like next to the wall. I couldn't resist. . .I had to take a picture of it. But, I didn't have my camera. So it had to wait. I tried to take its picture that night, but the flash bleached the color.

The next day it rained.

But yesterday, it was sunny and warm! So I had ample opportunity to picture it. While I was working the idea of the drink umbrella came to mind. So, after work, I went in search of one. I had to go to seven places with open bars before I found one! But find one I did, and there is the result!
