Week 19: Still Life

{ Project 52 Week 19: Still Life } 

Setting up this still life shot was fun. I picked up this neat little vintage-looking oil can recently at a second hand store. I'm almost certain it's just a replica and not the real thing but I still find it incredibly charming. I thought I'd contrast the rustic-ness of the oil can with the danty-ness of some Lily of the Valley, which are in full bloom now. Unfortunately these tiny soft blooms last only a short time and are so hidden in my garden it's sometimes easy to miss them. I have to make a conscious effort to go out and search for them every spring. It would be a shame to miss these sweet scented blooms!
