Coat Tree

11 Comments

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 itā€™s still as colourful and inviting as last autumn.

There have been some creative additions, including some hanging pom poms and a branch that is sporting new fashions. Iā€™m not sure who is ā€œclothingā€ 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. Iā€™ve passed this spot many times without before noticing.

I am not a smoker, but I couldnā€™t resist a picture of this bristling butt disposal depot. Ugh. While I canā€™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.
