Shapour_3 says:

does my umbrella needs to feel the rain ?
or this is me that have to get fresh with its drops ?

my umbrella protects my feelings when I cross the lines…

Maggie, You made a beautiful composition with the line and could get the reflection very well.

this is so pure and romantic
also has a nostalgic atmosphere
well captured!

P.S.: I also walk very often without umbrella in Germany they told me" we are not made of sugar!"....so we will not melt...
(of course acid rain is not pleasant either..I must admit)

Unusual is that there is the sun providing shadow while it is raining over here.

Maggie, this is a great one once more! I like the simplicity, the minmalism, the colors. the contrast and the strong geometrical composition! And the reflections, of course. Oh. this is not minimalism, the kind of writing. My new friend would express it with one word:
