L is for Lazy

This boot was located in Red Wing, Minnesota and looked splendid during the Red Wing Art Association festival this past summer. Painted umbrellas were the star of the show, but I found this boot quite unique. I might post one of the umbrellas at a later date.

There are benches available for any lazy passerby's or photographers who had a HDR day. Owd Bob could really stretch out here. If you look closely, you will find several O's, a D and some funky B's. Just slip the boot on for an L and you have Old BOB. You could use the W for OWD and get the L out. I wonder where they got the idea to use a boot? :) Possible entry for the current contest.

I love the artwork on it! The grass on the sole is very creative.

L is for lug boot, too - in this case, one left behind by Paul Bunyan. A good entry for the contest - much luck. Thad

That is very unique Tick. Whoever did this must have had a hard worker in mind and wanted to pay a tribute to them. Nice one. Much luck in the contest.

An 'all in one' post Tick. Not only an ideal place for our Owd Timer (he can do his outdoor nap in stereo here (snoring, lol) on a Lazy day), but a perfect place having all the ingredients for the current contest as well.
A perfect find Owd Fella. The 'L' is the well known cherry on the cake!

If this one will be your entry: Good Luck!

Only in Minn-e-sota will you find huge boots. This one may have been made at the Red Wing Shoe Factory ... boots are their specialty.

I see the reference to Old (Owd) Bob as well & why he is so attracted to benches. The artist did a great job on the boot as well. Excellent capture, story, & entry for the contest Tick. Best wishes.

assuming where the boot co.is from? they are good boots if im thinking of the same thing. now this is interesting & im not showing the wife..we have a few pairs from this co. laying around here. im often threaten with having a red wing place somewhere rather unpleasant when dragon lady is upset. this would be right up here alley!..huumm or mine depending on how you look at that statement..either way, not good! however the shot is fabulous!

I think this is what they call a seven league boot, isn't it? Great shot Tick.

A good eye too spot this size 22 L for the contest, TicK. I now have a better idea of what the contest is about. Best wishes for this entry.

Bravo on spotting this really cool boot and really like the way they've painted it. Marvelous capture and I think this would be a super entry to the current contest. Really like all the colours and the way the boot shines, you can actually see reflections of a silver truck, buildings behind it and also the lovely sky & clouds, in the toe when you view in full.
