Incongruous

Found this hook embedded in a Cedar tree in the woods ,well past the abandonded property where I usually find rusty items for Gloriously Rusty Tuesday. Wonder what in the world it is doing there?Just glad I didn't fall into it! Todays snowy woodland walk went like this: Walk.Fall.Wipe glasses.Tuck hair in hat.Wipe camera lens. Repeat.Santa needs to get me snowpants for sure!

I'm Hooked on You. That's what it made me think of.

[Daryl O'Hare]

Just in case someone wants to hang something. An old favorite camping spot? Cool shot.

[Alexander]

Nicely composed and the mind definitely boggles as to what was restrained or hung on it?

[Hope D Jennings]

@darylo Of course! And old lantern!

[Hope D Jennings]

@gozoinklings If we get anymore snow this will most likely be my last that isn't a filler!

[Hope D Jennings]

@amandal Better title! Clever girl!

[Hope D Jennings]

@quixoticneophyte I think I watch too many horror movies!

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Love it!

[Allison]

I smiled at your horror movie comment, as that was the first thing I thought when I saw the hook lol :-) Love the texture on the hook, and it looks cool against the falling snow backdrop :-)

[Hope D Jennings]

@allisonraposa lol!Good to know I am not the only one with a mind that works like that! :)

Neat rusty find. Perhaps it was a latch of some sort. That hook is just begging to catch something. Have you had a tetanus shot recently...lol

great shot - but interesting/odd place for a hook. Makes you wonder why it's there. Sounds like a fun hike if a wet/snowy one.
