The girl with an umbrella

umbrella-1

-

There once was a girl,
Who found an umbrella in a tree.
Jet black and imposing,
It was so becoming,
She vowed never to abandon it.
Not in the winter, and not in summer.

Music: Lou Reed - Perfect day

Il était une fois une fille

Qui avait trouvé un parapluie dans un arbre

C’était un parapluie noir

Et celui ci était tellement charmant

Qu’elle décida de ne plus le quitter

Que ce soit en hivers qu’en été

La robe de chez MakiMaki te va vraiment comme un gant Alix! Tu es superbe! En tout cas ce petit arbre a un côté Alice au Pays des Merveilles… Tu es si grande assise dessus! J’ai regardé cette photo pendant près de 2 minutes croyant que j’avais des hallucinations… Mes yeux sont enfin en leurs orbites, cette prise de vue est vraiment excellente! ^^
