Tree Walkers

Saw this in northern Michigan and got some shots of it. There were a lot more there than I captured, the whole tree was loaded, but because of the lighting that day, a lot of my photos didn't turn out too good. It was so much cooler in person then this photo captures.

I love it! There is a tree along the highway in the middle of nowhere on the way to Prairie City that has been
shoe-ed like that too! Wonder why folks decide to do that and how they get so many shoes or people with shoes involved! lol

Are you at my moms house?....she has been nailing our cast off shoes to a tree in the woods for a long time....Why?....Who knows
But there are now alot of birds living in shoe nests......

I've seen those shoe tree's in a couple of places, always been a mystery to me, who? Why?

I have brought this to the attention of my family and friends and now they can't help looking for shoes beside the road Oh well I guess it's something to do Gees sounds like I need a life LOL LOL

Interesting, the only thing I ever heard about sneakers hangin is drug related. CD, being a road bicycle rider, I have noticed lots of things on the side of the road up close and personal, shoes and sneakers being one them and, ah, road kill being the other!

We had a huge oak shoe tree out here until some vandals cut it down. I took my granddaughter past there one time. I told her that shoes grew on trees and that we were going to shop for some. After we stopped and walked under the tree I asked her if she saw anything she liked. She looked around for a while and then pointed to a pair that caught her eye. At that point I couldn't hold back any longer and started laughing. She still remembers that day and she is very upset with whoever cut it down.

Thanks for all the visits and replies everyone.
I will be going up north in a couple weeks and will try to get some more shots of this tree if it's still there like this.

Smiles!
