Hello All!
.
My newly washed car kicked up dirt as I held the directions , searching for the address on the paper and then came to a stop on an old country dirt road.
For some reason I didn't understand ,this old worn boot and bright red pump caught my eye , I immediatly wondered if it had a story when i saw it with a personality all its own hanging there on a bright red pump. A large, kind, big hearted lady came out of her house that her husband had built her to greet me. She told me the story of the boot and its history and why it was there.
They were her husbands favorite work boots- he had worn them for years refusing to buy another pair. He was sentimental about them as his lucky pair and the boots he had worked hard to build her a home and farm off a peaceful country road. He had spent many years building them their dream home. That dream was dreamt and carried out in those old worn boots. He had one last project. They needed a pump. He spent hours digging and got real dirty but he wouldnt come in for dinner he had to finish so that all would be complete!. Finally the pump was in and the work was done on the land and new homestead. But the pump it tilted and wouldn

Know Kimarie that your history of pump and old woman godasse is in fact an allegory which these people created there. The old woman rangers is there for rappeller that one has anything without evil, that with the efforts one obtains what one wants, counters winds and maes, leaves to lose its godasses there!!! Very beautiful adventure, and very beautiful end for an old woman godasse carried in trophy at Kimarie!!!

A wonderful image and story! I'm so glad it had a happy ending. As I was reading I was hoping the man didn't kick the pump and drop dead. Fortunately only the boot came to an end and the couple are enjoying the fruits of their labors and dreams.:o) CC

What a wonderful story Kimmers, and your capture, the perfect illustration! :) True, we all could use a swift kick in the side to stand straight, but only if it is done out of love and tenderness! ;)

warming story and a cool capture, good choice of focus and dof (and obviously the POV). Just wondering what cam you took this on or if you did something in post but the pump looks a bit "unrealistic" when put against the absolutely crisp reproduction of the boot itself - difficult to explain, it might just be the bokeh.

thanks for sharing the lovely story and this excellent shot Kim****
