Snow Shoes
Explore# 286 12/9/09
Hey everyone! I hope your Wednesday went well! Today's Our Daily
Challenge has 'shoes with character' as the subject...I thought of my
pairs of old sneakers with many miles of hiking behind them...but they
are best relegated to a chipper truck...a bit TOO much character to
them! LOL
I've had these antique snowshoes for 15 years, my whole house is done
in the "Lodge" look, so these were a 'must have' at a local
antiques dealer...I think they date back to the early 1900's! What
they might lack in character, they make up for in uniqueness around
here...they may be just about the only snowshoes in lower Alabama!!!
LOL : ) Have a great evening, and I hope you enjoy tonight's Sunny
Side of the Street captures!

Oh man, I forgot about today's challenge! This super shot sure made me remember, not that reading the text didn't help...LMBO!!
I don't wear shoes, just boots. I better go work on my photo.
I never owned a pair, sounds like Maria knows a quality snowshoe when she sees one. They don't make anything good these days, just cheap and fast. You have a nice relic here, Brody. Darn good shot too!

Love the shot, Brody... Looks like a great pair of shoes, too... I have never snowshoed but think it might have been a lot of fun way back when...

So, do you get snow in Alabama?
The colour of the snowshoes are just so neat.

I love the "Lodge" look too! It's a very comforting environment.

I think that you really DON'T need this kind of equipment nearby you ;-)
By the way, they are very decorative !
