Coat Tree

This coat-wearing tree in a Penticton park has survived the winter very well and has acquired some extra style.

March 7, 2022

It looks different from October when everything was much leafier, but it’s still as colourful and inviting as last autumn.

October 1, 2021

There have been some creative additions, including some hanging pom poms and a branch that is sporting new fashions. I’m not sure who is “clothing” this tree, but there are some very fine examples of crochet, beadwork, and knitting.

Very bright and whimsical!

A Buttupine?

Around a corner from a door at YZF. I’ve passed this spot many times without before noticing.

I am not a smoker, but I couldn’t resist a picture of this bristling butt disposal depot. Ugh. While I can’t imagine standing out in this cold for a puff – and I totally get why no one has bothered to clean this thing – I guess any proverbial butt in a storm will do!

Happy Sunday.
