Shoe Tree/ Mosaic Monday

Shoes hanging from tree beside an Ontario highway

I don't know why these shoes are decorating this tree, but they are hard to miss when driving along the highway.

To see more mosaics, visit Mary at the Little Red House HERE

That's funny. I've heard of a place like this somewhere out in America's southwest, but I'm not exactly sure where.

I kind of like those pink shoes, it's a shame that they're stuck up in the tree like that. :)

I suppose that is a REAL shoe tree not one found in a closet. LOL
Good eye and good shot EG. MB

whimsical! I actually "googled" and found what looks like a cultural trend here: http://www.roadtripamerica.com/roadside/shoetrees.htm

Well, we have a negligee tree on the ski slope here in Breckenridge. Some of these shoes look brand new! I like the idea of a "shoe tree!" Great mosaic.

What a good mosiac. You picked up on this crazy trend of shoes hanging from hydro and telephone lines. Very clever. Valerie

That is too funny. It really leaves one to ponder the what and why. And colorful ones too! I'd love to see the whole tree too, must be a sight going down the road.

That's interesting! I also why and who hung the shoes on the tree like that!

Well, I looked on LD's link (thank you LD) but I'm none the wiser :-)
I must say I don't think it's a particularly attractive thing to do though I quite liked the tree that looked as though the shoes had been nailed to the trunk!
Great capture :-)

A local lady entered her found shoe collection in our county fair and won a blue ribbon. Fun pictures!

We have 2 shoe trees near us but they're not hanging - they are nailed right to the trunk of the tree. What you found takes talent to get them hanging just so! :-)

I love it! Was this near Midland Ontario? I saw a similar display there a few summers back.
