Playing along with Luziapimpinella

I took this awhile back for a book on crocheting I photographed. I don't think this made the final cut. But I adore this image. Everything about it. Except that flaw on the sensor. See it? There on the umbrella? I should open Photoshop and take care of that. Or maybe not. But it is nonetheless an umbrella, which is Luziapimpinella's meme for the week. So I'm playing along! Why don't you play along too?

Nics Meme für die Woche heißt "Schirm". Ich spiele mit! Du auch?

There are four interdependent elements of flight: Lift, thrust, drag and weight. I will categorize each entry in this flight log/blog according to each of these elements of flight. Many things, for example, will end up in the Weight category. While Weight may seem the antithesis of flight, it is usually the things making up the weight--the passengers or payload--that are the reason for initiating flight. Therefore, no Weight, no flight. Thrust will be the things that inspire and propel me and, hopefully, us higher and farther. Drag will be the things that slow me and us down. And Lift will be those magic moments when we leave the earth and soar.

There is an art, or rather a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ~Douglas Adams, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
