Calgon, Take Me Away

I took a less traveled path on my search for pictures this afternoon and look what I found! Why someone would keep a bathtub in their backyard, I couldn't say. The title comes from an old TV commercial in the U.S.Here it is if you want to see it for yourself : http://tinyurl.com/3kuoqlp
I love the fact that you followed Frost's advice and found this tub. And this made me think of my elementary library. Being a librarian, you might enjoy hearing this. We had a tub in our library. It was full of pillows and all that and stuffed animals. We could climb in it and read a book. I wonder if someone is going to plant flowers in it...someday? Just guessing. I have enjoyed your walks with the camera!

Oh yes, I remember those commercials. NIce job and it's amazing how people use tings like this to decorate their yards. Some are quite creative.

LOL Well that's different. I love the people that plant flowers in old toilets.

Ha ha- great find. It sort of looks like a clawfoot bathtub without the claws- maybe it's waiting for its feet before it goes in rather than beingon the way out. Anyway- we once had a bathtub in the basement of a home we rented in which we kept our fishpond fish and plants through the winter. Great shot!!

Nice spotting of the bathtub! It does look a little out of place there!

Interesting for sure. Great find. I don't think flowers are necessary for it to fit in to the yard. Looks good just the way it is....a conversation piece.

How unusual! Just be glad you didn't interrupt anyone's bath time. That would have made for a much different picture!

@mrssmith My pre-school had a reading tub full of pillows where us kids could climb in and curl up with a good book. It's a great idea, isn't it?

We have Calgon in he UK Allison.

I've seen tubs and sinks buried in gardens in the UK to be used as beds for flowers / herbs / vegetables etc. Considered very art deco by some !!

You do spot some good and unusual subject Allison
