Watering can

I’ve created my share of digital images.

This blog hosts 337 images so far (and yeah, most are just lame efforts at photoshopping.) I’ve uploaded 1,122 photos to my Flickr account (and yeah, most are just snaps of my wee ones, restricted to friends and family.) Then there’s the miscellaneous ones done during 10 years of working for new media (and yeah, they’ve all wisely been deleted.) It’s a lot of pixels.

And now, I’m delighted to announce, one of my creations has finally garnered the worldwide praise I so richly think I deserve.

Yes, folks, somebody wants one of my public Flickr images for a group! And not just any group… it’s sought after by devotees of… watering cans!

Yes, the above picture - wedged between 2,00 family snaps taken at Franklin’s Garden on Toronto Island, after the CBC picnic - is now a part of the group “Gießkannen - watering cans” on Flickr. Description:

Diese Gruppe ist für Gießkannen.
This group is about watering cans and watering pots.

Of course all the discussion so far is in German, but I like to think of “watering pots” as a language we all speak.

There truly is a Flickr group for everything, no? And now that I’ve found my niche, I sort of want to become an expert. In my mind, I’m already composing shots of that rusty can in our front garden, the little plastic “smiling flower” cans my girls use when they are “helping”, the overpriced silver thing I bought my wife one Mother’s Day. And that’s without even leaving the house!

I may need to buy a new camera…
