Wooden you?

wood photo challenge

Time for another Round Robin Photo Challenge. This time Kiva suggested anything wooden. I knew immediately what I wanted to share.

We bought these huge antique snowshoes at an auction about 4 years ago. They look nice on the wall.

This is a German sled we bought at an Antique Store when we were building the house. I had thoughts of suspending it from the ceiling above the island in the kitchen as a sort of pot rack.

Amish Car Wreck

Why wooden wheels aren’t so great.

I’m sure I could have come up with a few more wooden items but I have been really distracted by birds lately. I have seen a few that I had never seen before and even a few that I had only seen once before. . .You’ll see them soon, promise. Was that a teaser? ;)

I am a sucker for wooden furniture and jewelery myself! I love the feel of it as well as the look!

Beautiful shots, Lisa. Your stunning photos always make my morning. I'm look at these forms of transportation and feeling grateful for my Nikes and my VW!

Very cool Lisa. I know how much you love your bird. I love to come and see them daily. I think you did a great job with the WOOD.

Great choices. Is that an Amish buggy? I love wood and have tons in my house, but I did my birdhouses, outside.

Perfect photos as always! I wish I'd have posted more pictures. I think I'm the only one who only posted one.

You know that bird "sighting" is happening everywhere. I think the migration was different this year. We had Lazuli Buntings come through the valley - and I swear I don't remember them every coming through here before. I swear (I SWEAR!) I saw an Ibis on the Columbia River last week - driving through the gorge. Way out of it's range. Way Way.

I love the snow shoes and sled. What a great idea to use it in the kitchen. Great photos!

Very nicely done! The green grass makes an excellent backdrop for the snowshoes and the sled. But my favorite shot is the broken down Amish buggy.

I see dandelions! Nice wooden objects. The way snow shoes are woven always fascinates me. Good job on the details.

Snow shoes, yes! I hadn't thought of those. Love the close-up! Great interpretation. How long do I have to wait to see the rest?

Jan it is an Amish Buggy. We have many Amish here.

Dana, I need to get you out. If you go anywhere near MArhsfield you should see some. If you go to that Fleet Farm on Saturday morning the paking lot is full of buggies. That's when they make their run. But you often find them at WalMart and Menards too.

We have snowshoes like that hanging on the wall outside. We have an old wooden sled too. We don't have wooden wheels but we have the metal ones that go on the waggon.

I like your pot rack idea! Did it not work out? I like the snowshoes, too.
