YET MORE RUST

Looks like I have a few rusty garden things at my home

This well loved and much used garden rake shows some fabulous signs of rust

Love this close up shot of the rake end


Imagine the damage Edward Scissorhands could have done with these rusted treasures

MORE RUST & MAD MAX TO RIDE AGAIN

RUSTY SHADES OF INSPIRATION

More rust for this weeks colour for Shades of Inspiration

Such a well used wheel barrow.
I hate to think how many metres/yards of concrete it has carted and it has been fabulous for soil and mulch.


Love the spots where huge chunks of paint have fallen off the bottom of the wheelbarrow to reveal the rust



Love the way the rusty paint is flaking on this chair. I have been tempted to scrape it off and repaint it but I just love the look of the rust


Love the mottled, layered look on this chair


Matching set - well weathered chair and market umbrella stand.

This rusted arch holds my beautiful Pierre de Ronsard climbing rose. So battered and rusted, now broken during some strong winter winds. Might need to do a bit of repair work on it before Spring starts on 1st September

Fabulous looking rusted screw from my arch

UPDATE ON MAD MAX

When Max went to the physio on Saturday they thought that because of the lack of mobility in his shoulder and being unable to lift the arm that the tendon was torn from the bone. So after a visit to the Doctor Monday for a referral for an ultra sound that was done Tuesday, he went back to the physio last night and it was found to be nothing more than a large pocket of fluid.

He is one lucky man.
So out of the fall he gets a new training bike, helmet, bike clothes (at the hospital they cut his other ones off him- mind you he has 3 other sets) a bucket load of sympathy and thankfully just some exercises to do. He was so happy to hear that all it was, was fluid.

RUST


SHADES OF INSPIRATION


This weeks colour for Shades of Inspiration is RUST


This laundry basket trolley is 30 years old and is always outside
so I am amazed that there isn’t more rust.

Even the screw on the trolley is ‘nicely rusted’.

Love the way this plant hanger on my garden shed is so rusty

This pot plant stand also has a ‘touch of rust’

Go check some great Rust photos here.
