Waiting for summer by Erika Gouws

Waiting for summer by

I recently visited someone who is busy renovating his house. To clear space for the work, a lot of stuff had been moved out of the way and into one room. The incongruity of this beach umbrella leaning against the wall with the clock – and the lovely colours – caught my eye.

  • Thanks, Te! It was just my luck that I happened to be there just before noon.

    this is great….l love the color….looks like my kitchen….but I dont have an umbrella leaning up against the wall

  • Hmm – maybe an umbrella is not the usual thing for a kitchen. :)
    Thanks so much for the comment!

    It really is a beautiful capture! ….and I thought I was the only one impatient for summer!

  • Thank you so much! In South Africa, summer is ending, so that umbrella will remain folded for a long time. :)
