Time-lapse

Because this blog is made so much more interesting through the generous contributions and submissions by our volunteer corps of umbrellarazzi, we tend to shower them with thanks instead of demanding exact geographic coordinates where photos are found.

And because the CIA wouldn't answer our email queries, we put on our Nancy Drew hat and conducted our own internal investigation: The Case of The Time Lapsed Photos, a wine-fueled thorough side-by-side comparison of two similar Rittenhouse Square photos. Nancy would have put on a sensible pair of heels and gone to the scene, photos in hand, but frankly - it was snowing. Our only conclusion is that we really want to know how that scarf brigade gets those scarves around these objects? Tape? Pins? A final sew? So intriguing!

Without further ado, our first shot comes from Alyssa:



And the second, sent a few days later, but probably taken just hours later by @gaillary



As you can see. We make no conclusions, but isn't it fun to imagine it so?

Thanks ladies!

Man, whole brella

@jillybeans3 says she spotted this one on her way home from her book club. We featured it last week looking a bit more lively.

Great eye, lady!

Bringing people together

Remember a few months ago when we posted this? Well the other photographer was indeed a BOS reader; Becky recently emailed us four photos she'd been saving on her phone for months, and this was one. Obviously we can't help but wonder if they are single and should go on a blind date and fall madly in love and give away little umbrella favors at their wedding.

But until then, we'll settle for: Awesomeness.

No speed

Submitter Jason tells us he came upon someone else taking a photo of our subject. The plot thickens!

Solar energy vs. a cloud's full bladder

No one wins.

1st from Jen.

2nd from Whitney!

But I brought you a flower

And yet a third perspective, this from photog, Jen!


Pretty please don't reveal that you three are roommates.

It's like rain, on your wedding day

Ironic: That's not
Actually it. More like:
Have brella, clear sky.

Spotted on 12th and Locust in Philadelphia, by Adam

Re-shoot

And for the 2nd time in BOS history, two umbrellarazzi sent in pictures (this time 3 days apart) of the same subject.

We love you eagle-eyes - thanks for shooting this one Whitney!

The fabulous life of the celebrity umbrella

Paparazzi strikes!
Two readers spot same 'brella
Total fitness, HA!


Our first photo comes to us from reader Eileen, and the second from reader Rachel. Heart. Bursting!
