The word umbrella derives from the Latin "umbra" meaning shadow. So it would seem meant to shade the user from the sun.

Similarly in French the word parasol means literally "for sun".

And the French word parapluie means "for rain".

Now we have it straight, eh? :)

It only makes sense to use a parasol - women know this. Men know it too but refuse to avail themselves of this form of protection from the sun.

The parasol is attached to her body with a harness thus leaving both her hands free to mess around with her phone.
I wonder, do people still call a cell phone a phone? Or, is it a hand held device? By my observations people do far less talking on their phone than they do texting, net surfing and gaming. By my preference I use an old folding phone that is incapable of anything other than talking.

^^ I like this photo above, Mike!^^ I've been studying the nearer umbrella-carrier with interest and curiosity. You've helped featuring her by use of limited depth of field.
