Description
Patagonia is a town in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, United States. According to 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the town is 825. Patagonia was formerly a supply center for nearby mines and ranches. Currently, it is a tourist destination, retirement community and arts & crafts center. The Nature Conservancy's Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve is adjacent to the town. This photo was taken near a ranch, whose fense was about 1/2 mile long. Each fence post had a boot nailed to it. However, this was the only boot that was still new looking and full of color. The other were all worn due to the elements.

Before reading your description I was wondering if someone had lost this and someone had put it 'on display' so the owner could come back and find it...then I was wondering, 'how does someone lose a boot?'...and on and on my mind wandered and wondered...I love images that make me do that! I can still wonder now why put a boot on top of each fence post???....fav/L21
