Umbrellas. Despite the lie perpetrated by Mary Poppins, they won’t send you soaring through the air. But they do protect us from the sun. They protect us from the rain. They’re functional. They can be beautiful too — a lone bit of color on an otherwise gray and dreary day. Take a gander at the umbrella in its many forms in this photostream and leave a comment to tell us about your own favorite rainy-weather accessory.
