awaiting time's rust.

Never saw such cheerily colored milk cans before. I'm guessing the farmer must have sold them (or else was experimenting with LSD?!).hehe. Great ShadowShot!
What a great thing to happen upon. I bet you couldn't get your camera out fast enough!
well captured! what a sight :)
These milk cans look so dented and old in shape, with rust underneath. Yet the sky blue hue that covers them are cheery, and add a bit of life to the old jugs. A bit of patina that gives them originality. The rusty truck looks old - perhaps the starter gives it a shot at continuing its useful life. Or perhaps not. The useful items of the past make for unique art in any case!
Happy July 4!
turquoise!! never seen anything like this one before :) well captured.
I really like this photo Becky, but I don't understand this 'river of stones' project. Must be too abstract for my thinking. :)
Oh, milk cans, how wonderful. I remember my parents hauling water in milk cans because our well was too far from our house. We kids could go down the hill to get water in old 1-gallon rootbeer jugs.
Terrific, colorful old milk cans and what a wonderful shadow shot for the day! Isn't it wonderful to just happen across shots like these? It's definitely one of the reasons I just make sure that my camera is always with me! Hope you have a July 4th holiday!

The turquoise blues are so vibrant and sing of the refreshing milk they used to hold.
Wonderful, artistic photograph.
I enjoyed your haiku too.
gorgeous Becky..."awaiting time's rust"...love this!
oh my goodness...SWOONING!!!! Love old milk cans since I am married to a 3rd generation dairy farmer here in WA. and then of course you had me at turquoise!!!
I think, after seeing that, I'll head for my corner and wait for some rust while I sip a nice tall glass of....:)JP
I do like turquoise, but rust can be beautiful too!
SHADOW, BE TRUE
My shadow has come out to play.
Oh, shadow, please don’t run away!
Stay here by my side,
Pretend you’re my bride—
Be true to me now and alway!

Holiday Weekend Shadows is my link. Do stop by if you have some time today. I'd love to have you visit with me. Hope your day is treating you well!!!!
They are very cool. It's always fun to come across things like this. :)
That made me think of my cousin's dairy farm that we visited as kids.. or when the milkman delivered to the house...time passes...
Really interesting idea..the stones.. I may have to try that as I do try to notice the small things,, but I tell you about it instead of showing you as Fiona says...hugs...
Lovely picture. Great shadows, and vivid colours...
LOVE the Color!!!
Happy 4th of July sweet friend!

Such a pop of color Ms Becky. Love this and the unique shape of the cans.
I arrived on your blog via Cococita, who's a friend of mine and whose blog I read. I think she's absolutely right - you have an amazing photographic eye and show colour in a really powerful way in your photographs!
Do you have a Flickr account? I couldn't find a link to it on the blog... Hope you do, would love to see more of your work!
