Houston is known as 'boot town' and right now we have the rodeo in town when we turn totally western. A few years ago we had cows all over town and this year we have boots everywhere. I went out Sunday morning and captured these near the city center. You are all so very kind to stop in and I hope you enjoy the view. Anita

Well I've seen cows, moose, horses and bears, but never boots. This makes for quite a display, thanks for sharing!

What a great shot! I didn't know what to expect when I saw only the title. I'd love to see what's painted on them. I like your perpective too, Anita. But wait, I don't see snow!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

What are the boots made of? Will they be permanent? or will they be removed?

Yup, appears to be a *boot hill*. What a fine collection you have there. Dazzling bright cheery colors. There appear to be lights zoomed on them for evening appearances. A wonderful fun true Texas image, and thanks Anita!
