Perhaps there was a time when a bright zinc plated watering can tended lovingly to someone’s seaside garden.

Perhaps it served faithfully until the handle broke and its owner discarded it for a new one.

How it came to rest for a time in Galway Bay, be rescued and then set upon the rocks will remain a mystery however if not for its curious past I would never have captured this image.
