May Words - On My Walk Today (I saw)

There was once another homestead site at the back of our farm. There is not much left there except the foundation of the house and a bit of an area where they dumped their garbage. Most of the garbage has decomposed but there are still old bottles laying about.
I very seldom see them except in the spring of the year before the vegetation has covered them.

This almost looks like a message in a bottle. I can't tell if the paper is in the bottle or under it. But I prefer a message in a bottle. Smile.

I wonder what was in them. Good idea to photograph them so you can remember ghow many there are and where they're at once they're covered again.

But it's not plastic at least. Could it be a fire hazard by reflection of sunlight??

@henrir
I often think of what they were used for as well and imagine their past.
@sandrajo
There are so many neat old ones. I keep meaning to bring a box back with me so I can bring them home. There may be one or two that are rare and have some value.

I thought that they may be a fire hazard as well but they have been there for over 50 years and not caused harm yet. I think they are safe since there is so much sand and dirt in each one that they no longer heat the foliage.

The things people leave behind :(

This was well over 50 years ago and I don't think there was garbage collection in the rural areas then. Every farm had a landfill (hole dug in the ground) of some sort back then. They just covered it up every so often.

It's fun to nose around old house sites to see what treasures can be found.

I hope you photograph them in the box for us so we can see them all collected!
