Footprints In The Snow

Do you dig it?

[AZShoeNut]

I dig it. Very cool.

I dig it. Very cool.

Especially AZShoeNut,  he would be like... what's that funny white powder on the ground?   Just kidding.  I tease a co-worker of mine that lives in Phoenix.  Although, I think I read you just moved recently didn't you?  Name doesn't fit anymore

What I don't dig is why my picture is sideways. I didn't upload it that way. It seems no matter which way I rotate it, it winds up this way. I ain't gonna worry about it no more. See the "New Boots" thread for a similar picture that is right side up.

The image reminded me of a Photoshop image I created back on 2/2/1998.

That's funny, I did something similar in 2012 (not having seen yours TBG):

I'd say "great minds think alike" though clearly I'm 14 years behind !

 

I must admit there is something very exciting about seeing (and making) heel footprints in the snow. I always think of a line from the song "Kayleigh" by Marillion: "Do you remember, dancing in stilettos in the snow".

That is great Miro, like the sense of strutting it brings!

One big step for Thighbootguy kind, you have strutted much sine you did that picture TBG!

When I was a kid I spent (3) days in the snow at camp in Idyllwild, CA.  I loved it and I froze.  Don't need any more snow than that.

 

I did move to the Sacramento area.  Back when I got my username I sure never thought that I would move away from AZ.  Additionally I wouldn't mind removing the "nut" part of my username too but since I don't have a sufficiently clever replacement name I guess that I will be happy sticking sticking with the current.

I almost blew my egg nog out my nose when I read that.  Hilarious!!

 

I love taking note of heel prints in carpet or dirt or sand and imagine who might have made the impression and what shoes they might have been wearing.

When it snows before I go to work, the court shoe stiletto prints made as I walk to my car look similar to those in mlroseplant's photo. The marks of my heeled pumps bring me a bit of comfort and pride.

There is more to the story. After I took that picture, it didn't get warm for several days. In fact, we set a record this year for number of consecutive hours below freezing for the month of November.

However, the warmth of the sun partially melted those footprints, and then they re-froze as ice where the footprints were, making them stand out clearly for a few days. Since I often travel the same ground on my morning or evening constitutional, there were multiple layers of high heeled footprints that lasted a few days. I wonder if anybody noticed? Probably not. It never ceases to amaze me how oblivious most people are to everything, including that car that is about to run that stop sign up ahead.

Rambling a bit now, but I just remembered an experience from my childhood. When I used to deliver newspapers early in the morning, which means I must have been 11 or 12 years old, I remember seeing a young woman out walking very early in the morning when it had snowed a goodly amount. Where she was going I will never know, because her pedestrian journey went far beyond the confines of my paper route.

I just remember she was wearing tall wedge boots that were fairly high for the time period, and she was moving along. I remember thinking that it was just cooler than hell that she was wearing heels in the snow, and seemingly so easily. Never thought it would be me, years later!

Interesting how many of us found ourselves curious about heels that we saw a gal wearing prior to catching the high heel bug ourselves.

So you did not make the prints?

People at work will sometimes rest their foot on the side wall of the elevator. Every now and then I have to leave a nice hi heel shoe print. It's only there a day or so before they are all cleaned off.

I absolutely love leaving my shoeprints, in snow, mud, water--just about anything. Heels2U I never thought of leaving a track on the stainless steel wall of the elevator! What a great idea. What kind of print do you leave?

The picture you see here does indeed show my footprints. In fact, I walked quite a ways beyond the photo before doubling back by another path in order to take the photo. The other footprints I mentioned were made by some young woman 30-some-odd-years ago. It's just part of the story of my high heeled journey.
