A Couple of Umbrellas and an Update

Hi there. We have had some rain in NYC recently, and you know what that means. Yes, more pictures of umbrellas.

First, we have this trashed piece. I found this near the trash cans outside my building. I don't know if it was intentionally dropped near the trash, or if this was just a fortuitous discarding of an umbrella.

Second, we have this beauty captured by my lovely wife. It seems as though someone noticed the busted up roses on the ground and decided to add to the pile with their own umbrella rose. Quite a solid example and almost artistic in its placement.

As an update, I will be adding a new feature on Tuesdays, called Truck Trash Tuesdays. To give some background, I drive a large-ish pickup truck in NYC. I owned the truck in Texas (where it was considered normal size) and refused to give it up when we moved. Now people have decided that my truckbed is the perfect place to discard their unwanted items. Highlights from the past, of which I have no pictures, include: Condoms (both used and unused,) plastic medical gloves (on a regular basis,) and a half empty bottle of Hennessy (I did not partake in the leftovers.) I promise this will be interesting.
