Unexpected

Sometimes I wonder ... Far from any human habitation, I see one (1) shoe on the side of the highway. A book, open on a stump where the reader left it. Deep in the woods, tossed far off the trail, a juice bottle. (Grrrrr! You brought it in; haul it out, would you?)

Or a shoe growing moss, tied to an overhead branch beside a trail.

And did the owner hop out on the other foot?

The book and bottle, from posts long ago:

Oyster Bay, July 2017

Lake Hoomak, January 2019

Why do people toss shoes over wires and branches? Apparently, reasons are a dime a dozen. Wikipedia lists some of them. Take your pick.

Whatever the reason, Ma Nature is quickly decorating this shoe to fit in with its surroundings.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A veces algo me deja perpleja. En la carretera lejos de viviendas humanas, un solo (1) zapato abandonado. Un libro abierto sobre un tronconcito en el bosque, tal como lo dejó la persona que leía. En pleno bosque, aventada lo más lejos posible del sendero, una botella de jugo. (¡Oye! La trajiste; llévatela, ¿ok?)

O un zapato, ya llenándose de musgos, atado a una rama al lado del sendero.

¿Porqué será que la gente avienta zapatos para colgarlos de ramas y alambres telefónicos? Wikipedia da una variedad de razones de donde puedes escoger. O inventa otro, lo que más razonable te parece.

Sea lo que sea la razón, la Madre Naturaleza se está ocupando en decorar este zapato para que armonice con el ambiente.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
