Just a Few Feet More Toddler T-Shirt

While walking in the woods one day near our home, my husband and I found this ancient step ladder covered up by some rotting leaves. It was apparent very quickly, that this ladder had been discarded some time ago. I uncovered it and placed it beside this tree, that most likely was as old as the ladder. I thought it looked so adorable beside the tree, with all the leaves and moss growing up the tree trunk. I decided to take a photograph of the step ladder. I am so glad I did. I think that it looks charming, but the HDR processing highlights all the fine details of the ladder, the leaves and the moss covered tree so well.

I think I should have brought the old ladder home and given it the job to hold flower pots of some kind. But honestly, my husband would have thought it a waste of time and energy. OH well. It makes for a fine photograph and a good story.
