Pieman River 4 - Gum (boot) Tree

Much as I try and take photography seriously - I can't resist I visual gag when I find one.

This tree was 'growing' in the garden of the huts that cluster around the mouth of the Pieman River.


This is clearly a Gum(boot) Tree!

Although, I think if it was in the UK it would be Wellingtonia!

You can find more shots from around the world at Our World Tuesday.

    What a cool find, a boot tree. I am sure it is one of a kind too. Have a happy Monday!

    Hi Stewart,
    This is very nice to see.
    All boots to hang on the branches of the tree.
    Best regards, Irma

    I wonder if the tree's soul is groaning. Poor guy.

    Even a serious (and seriously good) photographer is allowed to have a sense of humor.

    I have heard of the shoe tree before but haven't seen one until today (just kidding). What a fun find.

    I was going to try to be clever also and say the tree was a "gum-shoe" which is another word for a detective, but there are really no shoes...just rubbers, or wellington boots. :-) Oh well, I think you were the clever one. Cute post!
