sprinkler in the stones

the round device is a Zoli proof sprinkler. water spraying from a sprinkler has always made Zoli extremely angry. while it’s running, he bites the water in a futile attempt to make it stop. when the water goes off, unless a person is standing there and grabs the sprinkler before he does, he’ll tear it to pieces. the sprinkler system in Zoli’s garden retracts into the stone sidewalk or the ground when the water cycle is done and Zoli can no longer destroy the sprinkler. this was intended to be more of a minimalist image. when i snapped the shot my feet were not showing in the view of the app. after a half dozen attempts to exclude my feet, i gave up and settled for this shot. as you can see we’re still wearing sandals and yes, we’re still watering because the weather is gorgeous, but without rain it’s extremely dry.

 

Those pictures which require the most perspiration and imagination to take are always the ones that look the easiest.

    Great eye for detail!! And – I like how you included your feet (me too – I’m still wearing flip flops..although it’s getting cold here in the northeast!).

    Great framing and I love the B&W. I’m wearing winter clothes today. Last night we only had +2C and I had frost on my car window this morning. Brr :-)

    Actually Sherri, I think that your feet add an essential element to the picture giving it a nice balance…may your sandal wearing days continue!

    Zoli is right to protect all from the dreaded sprinkler.
