A Kodak Moment ... Missed! - Friday, 12 April

There are good reasons (I think) for keeping my camera tucked away while I'm wandering around town, but sometimes I just can't pull it out fast enough to capture one of those ephemeral "Kodak Moments!"

Take today, for example.  A little old lady - certainly in her 80s - with slow but firm & steady gait - walked past my cafe table.  It was drizzling a little.  She was carrying a Marilyn Monroe umbrella.  Yup, just like the one in this picture.  If only I had snapped a picture of HER with it!  

I imagined her as a young Parisian beauty in the early part of the 20th century. What a world it must have been.....
