    This is great Robin! Those umbrellas just lead you right into the picture. The urban scenes are such a contrast to the plein air nature ones you had been working on. I love them both!

  10. Love the glow of your umbrellas and the echoing, reflected glow in your shadows.
    People say it rains all the time in Seattle. These people need to take a look at J&M Cafe.
