    Have you ever taken a nice picture to realize later that you didn't put your water hose away? I hate that when I do that. I have done that more than once...I guess when I have that camera in my hand I am looking at the flowers...not the hose...

    Oh yes! All the time. hahahaha. Tools, toes of shoes, chairs with coats on them, piles of cuttings... you name it, I've captured it. hahahaha :D
    Glad I'm not alone.

    constantly

    I do it so often, it doesn't even phase me anymore. Occasionally, when I get a really good shot of my daughter, or a hummingbird, or a bloom, of which I'm particularly proud and then I see the hose in the background, I kick myself!

    :D I do it all the time. I'm also focused on the plant. All the debris is secondary until I start going through the photos. Then I get annoyed.

    Hehehehe I thought it was part of garden decor. I also happen to do that often enough. One always want to capture the momemnt before it is gone, then afterward one can see all the "extras". BTW Sherry - your lilies are lovely.

    I do that all the time Sherry. But it's not just the hose...sometimes it's the tools I've been using or even my shoes!
    Lovely garden by the way Sherry.

    I hate it when I take pictures in the house and then you realize you can't show that on the website....the basket full of clothes in the far background, a pan that you didn't feel like washing right away...and so on...but I do forget about the hose a lot...Like everyone said the thing you are focusing on is the priority...Outside I am looking at the flowers or the bees, etc... :-D

    Here is another one...come on now that hose is pretty big but I was looking at the beauty of the butterfly..

    Another thing I hate is when you have a large weed next to a flower and you don't even notice it until you post the picture...

    How about your shadow...? I am getting better at that. One time I took a picture of a gazing ball in the flower bed and there I was, taking a picture..my reflection..

    photos

    I always seem to get weeds that don't show up on my radar until after I post the picture! When taking pictures of my daughter, I always seem to get the kitchen trash can in it. I've now taken to asking her to step in front of the fish tank to avoid the trash can.

    Oh yes, I've done that many times! Love your lilies, and I noticed the "Welcome" sign before I noticed the hose. :)

    Hoses snaking across the yard is a very common thing and I think most people do not notice them. I noticed the beautiful flowers and the green grass. We don't have green grass here, it's just too dry. dooley

    Look at it this way...it adds more "character" to your pictures!!! I use photo editing software to crop out the bad parts and emphasize the good...a professional photographer I'm not!!! They still look good to me, Sherry.

    How funny. I would have been excited to take that wonderful blooming garden arrangement. The hose makes it yours. The gazing ball reflection is so funny too. Hope you were smiling.

    dirt2diamonds....it seems like I am always smiling when I am in the flower garden...at least my husband tells me that...it must be because I love to garden.
