One of my background projects is to photograph watering cans whenever I visit somewhere new – these are the latest addition. Watering cans are a rather banal subject but they seem to vary so much , are cared for with or without respect and they often develop ‘nests’, places where they are always left when they are not used. I suspect there may be a tap under the wooden cover to the left….. maybe.

Spud the dog loves a plastic watering can. http://uphilldowndale.wordpress.com/2010/06/12/detective-work-required/
My favorite is a zinc ‘degging can’ it was my dads I hid it away when the workmen were installing the ground source heat pump, I thought it might get borrowed! I must go and liberate it.
I still see a high proportion of zinc watering cans about the place – they are, of course, ‘proper’ watering cans. 😉
I have a collection of watering cans displayed throughout my home!
🙂 Well done!
I’m not sure I’d go that far myself – I use an old soft drink bottle to water the few plants we have indoors – and a plastic watering can outside, which I run the hose into, to save me returning to the tap to re-fill – I’m not a gardener as such so reduce the amount of time I’m doing it to the minimum! 😉
Great project subject – off the wall idea but simply unique.
🙂 – as you will know yourself, projects like this tend to grow out of nothing – when we take more than three versions of a subject we have a project!. (I’m thinking of starting another on vases shoved under church pews, but that’s another story!)
They look like they’re up to something…
Just biding their time. 😉
