The watering can is a gift from my husband on our 41st anniversary trip along the California Coast a couple years ago. On the way back, I decided it would be a neat idea to use the left over water from our cooler and give some flowers a little drink. We found this flower field in Topanga Canyon and took the picture. I was amazed that you can see the water coming out of the can since there was not that much water in the can to use. My husband took the photo. I cropped most of myself out of it requiring some work to hide part of my knee and red pants as I was leaning over to avoid crushing the flowers. I also did quite a bit of editing to make the picture look more appealing.

Thank you to the following groups for featuring Canned drink. It is most appreciated. You are awesome. :hug:

Thank you very much I was not sure at first because of the unusual cropping but decided to go with it because it tells a story. I am pleased I left it in because everyone seems to like it.

Aww Eugene, that is what you think, but trust me it was the most unflattering photo of me in such an awkward position.LOL I recently allowed myself to be included in a photo as a humorous shot here in Splash Cafe :thumb353910147: but in Canned drink I wanted the focus to be on the water can with the water visible pouring out of it over the lovely flowers not on my awkward body. LOL
