    Love it! Isn’t it a beauty? You just have to look at things the right way – best through a macro lense.

    such beauty in the passing of time – that which we hold with such reverence fades away and we are left with its essence : love

    Great find! I’m sure it has a lot of stories to tell.

    My blues are here and here.

    Thanks for sharing your blues. That bucket has lived a long, happy life. Maybe it’s ready to turn into a plant container.

    Happy Blue Monday.

    I’m thinking that this bucket is a metaphor for human life. Most of us get pretty beat up along the way. In the end, we don’t look too pretty, and we may even leak a little! 🙂
