Photo Hunt - Utensils


The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is utensil. A utensil is defined as an instrument or vessel used in everyday life. Given that plant pots and knifey things are everyday implements for gaddeners I suppose they could be defined as horticultural utensils!

The photo was taken in an outhouse of Ingatestone Hall

That's a very nice photo. I wish my gardening utensils looked that way!

Have a good weekend.

What a great potting room. I love this shot for the theme. Happy weekend!

Liz Hinds said...

That was a great idea, jams.

Enjoy the weekend.

Wonderful photo Jams and I never thought of gardening utensils. I could have had a pleasing photo with lots of flowers with a spade in the corner instead of the lame one I did put up. My brain was out to lunch on this one.

Happy weekend to you.

How funny.... both our posts are related to food!

As a foodie, how can I live without my utensils. They are the heart of the cooking.... :)

Ardent said...

Being a gardener, I would love to rummage through that room.

CherryPie said...

Great photo, and idea for the theme. Why didn't I think of that? :-)

LifeRamblings said...

Traveling Bells said...

Haha...that is not what we would call an 'outhouse' here in the United States! Very nice photo...

julie said...

Oh, that is a lovely room! I wonder how the gardens look like.

Great picture! And definitely way different from the kitchen stuff I usually associate with the word "utensils"!

I would never have thought of flower pots as gardening utensils. :P

James Higham said...

Is that a kitchen?

Bengbeng said...

doesnt look like a pic..more like a drawing/art. beautiful..the starkness

Sreisaat said...

Hi Jams... I'm back again. That's a nice pottery room - it reminds me of a fellow blogger who runs pottery classes in France. There's so much detail in the picture. I have to agree with Beng up there, it looks like a painting!

Hootin Anni said...

pots for GARDeners too!!! [sorry, I couldn't resist]

My photos are posted. See if you can find the 'eight' implements I used. If you can find time sometime today to stop by....

Happy Saturday.

Gabriel said...

Great picture, Jams! As I said in my own post, in spite of your perfect definition of the word 'utensil', all I could think of was knives and forks...

Beautiful shot!
And I envy everyone that has an outhouse like that.
Decent room to store and work on, sigh :D!

Unknown said...

That looks like a wonderful place in which to "lose oneself" to the outside world. Great shot.

Yes... an "outhouse" in North America has a very different use than in the UK... what the Scots would call "t'wee hoosie".
