umbrella

visibility in the rain is crucial. protect yourself in the wind and avoid running into your fellow pedestrians.

Here's proof that a rainy day isn't always a bad thing. Now if only we could manage to contain all our weather woes inside baked goods. Let's move to Barbados!

Protecting yourself from the rain can make you all kinds of hungry.

Boo, and here I thought I was going to have a nice salad for dinner.

That giant bag of raw almonds in my desk drawer is so depressing I can hardly even think about it. Especially now, seeing a snack that would just brighten up my day. Stupid almonds, Y U NO CUTE?

Ahhhhhh doesn't that look refreshing? Laying out on liverwurst beach with an umbrella and a lettuce bush nearby for a snack. We've been having freak hailstorms with lightning and thunder and then suddenly it will be calm. I'm ready for a steady shot of sunshine. Any time now.

I wish I could use this to shoot the rain back into the sky.

Okay you guys, for real, there is obviously no excuse to not have super adorable snacks around. Can you cut a piece of cheese once with a knife? Yes? Then you have cute appetizers!

There are days and then there are days, am I right? Some days you need a little pick me up, a little understanding, a little protection from the rain.

I am very glad that the real beach is not made of pudding, but I would gladly nom on a sweet little scene like this!

Uglydolls are so ugly and so cute and so cuddly. They like the rain, let them protect you from it!

Rain doesn't have to bring you down, it can brighten you up!

Good thing they didn't make this out of real socks, it would be worthless as an umbrella.

Good thing this giant flower is meant for use in the rain because otherwise you'd be followed by all sorts of bees and butterflies everywhere you go.
