Judy's Photoblog
Have a seat...
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 19 July 2008 in Sport & Recreation and Portfolio.
This was taken at Pine Island, just 20 minutes from our home - a wonderful place at all times of day. The late day light added to this capture; I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

So colorful. Did you shoo the owner's of these beach chairs and umbrellas away so you could get such a good photo??? I'm kidding. Love this image Judy.

@Marion: How did you know, Marion? <grin>
I liked the colors very much but you'll have to read what a wrote to Chris about the crop! ;D
PS: Oh, I was mistaken - the funny comment comes with another view on Monday!

@tyan: The umbrellas were privately owned and not long after I shot this, the owners pulled them from the sand and left.
Betty from New Jersey, United States
How I wish I was there! Beautiful, colorful umbrellas and beautiful light. I can look at this photo all day! Well done, Judy.

@Betty: Thank you, Betty - there's another coming on Monday, based on a comment from Chris.
You might chuckle at my response to him...
Chris from South Jersey, United States
really nice Judy - I love the evening light also, and the bit of foreground sand adds to the feeling of isolation. My only suggestion would be to have a bit more space around the umbrellas. Very pretty shot.

@Chris: I hear you, Chris, and I have a horizontal shot, with someone's belongings off to the side.
When I cropped it to the umbrellas I thought I liked it better, but I'll go back and look.
I appreciate your comment!
Barbara from Florida, United States
This is one of those poster images, one with a wide matting and framed. Great composition and colorful umbrella's. The early evening capture presented wonderful light and shadows.

@Barbara: Thank you, Barb ... how complimentary. It is a tight crop and based on Chris' comment, I've posted another view for Monday. I need some computer work done and it may be next week, so I may be in 'withdrawal' for a few days.

@Lorraine: Oh, Lorraine, between you and Marion, I'm going to have a swelled head! <grin>
Thanks re: your comment on Belle - right now she's stretched out on the rug next to me.

The colored parasols and the fine sand are great, is this an inland water? Cool shot.!

@Observing: No, this is not inland water, but instead, an inlet off the Gulf of Mexico.
Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
The garroulous parasols are having a good time! I wonder what are they chatting about.....Cheerful composition!!!
