Splash of Colour

_DSC6342kidUmbrella_1024It was a rainy day. I looked out my window with a view and saw something that required my camera: a little tyke on the beach, holding a colourful umbrella, looking into the bay. The bright colour offsetting the grey — I ran for my camera! Kids being kids, he couldn’t hold still for 5 secs. Now he was seated in the water with the umbrella beside him. Not quite the shot I had wanted, but, cute nonetheless. His mother, on her way, was trying to prompt him to get up, but his rubber boots in the mud wasn’t making this easy. He finally did righten himself, left the umbrella where he had dropped it, and started walking into the water. Couldn’t be any wetter, could he?
