Follow-up to Pareidolia, Do Ya, Don't Ya

Brianne Bilyeu,

This is a post by guest blogger Ellen Bulger

About the Quasi Cryptic photograph of last week – It is indeed a pair of submerged plastic watering cans. They were resting in a water barrel sitting in the middle of a squash field at a family farm in Bethel, Connecticut. The algal slop is charged with hopeful intentions, that or random bird poo. I’m gonna market it as nature’s own cure for woo. Instruct a homeopathist to soak his head in it. I don’t have data to prove this will help, but we can always hope.

Two Watering Cans and Algal Abstract in a Barrel © Ellen Bulger

Yucky stuff, that slime, but also a glorious color, so it shares more than one attribute with lime Jell-O. The green glows because light is flooding it from all sides. It was that electric color that caught my eye. I pulled my camera out of my pocket and stuck it in the bucket for a few shots. I saw white and faded red plastic submerged, but I didn’t realize what it was until I got home and uploaded the photos to my computer. I was thrilled! I love the shadows. I love the curves. I love the way the waterers float, nested against each other in a yin-yang embrace. I cackled. I drummed a happy little tattoo with my heels. And it slays me that I hadn’t realized what they were.

The floating shoes comment made me think about the Hansa Carrier. And so my thoughts do drift…

Thanks for looking and guessing!

    The wicked bit for me was the symmetrical arrangement of the watering cans. Made it look like there was some sort of screw or paddle type of churn.
