What does this thing do?
Attention to detail
Deerfield Beach, FL, December 2010
We're still noodling with the water theme (you can noodle, too, here) and within that context I still find myself photographing things that most others might call unpretty.
Unpretty doesn't mean uninteresting. Not in my world, anyway.
Your turn: What was going through the mind of the guy - definitely a guy - who painted this?

He was too tired to avoid painting the handle,so took the easy way out and just slathered the whole thing..lol,or he wanted to camo it and frustrate whoever would need to adjust that handle.
ReplyDeleteI've never understood modern art.
ReplyDeleteI think he was thinking about lunch and a nice vanilla shake to go with it.
ReplyDeleteHe was in a hurry and simply wanted to be done... of course with the paint on there, it won't turn.
ReplyDeleteBeing in a hurry, or trying to hide a faucet shut off valve for something, (water-wet-theme!)???
ReplyDeleteand it might not be painted shut...I've been there done that kind of thing...don't tell anyone!
i gave up years ago trying to figure out the male mind
ReplyDeleteI haven't the foggiest clue as to why that faucet turn would be painted. I am too busy laughing over the idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments and encouragement that you left for me the other day. While I am so very sorry you have had to deal with the same sort of hurt, it is comforting like you said to know that I am not alone.
I really like your blog site. You have a fun way of sharing your experiences.
Have a blessed and wonderful day.
I bet you tired to turn it!
ReplyDeleteNice photo! I wonder how long it's been since the valve was actually used...
