Today was a day for gumboots.

as I write, in Melbourne it is 10 degrees....  hail and lashings of rain,

and snow on the mountains.

.....and it's supposed to be summer...well it was two days ago!

trawling through old photos some months back I found this photo.

we were camping on the Murray , a waterskiing trip,

and while the adults were busy unpacking and setting up tents,

this little fellow decided to amuse himself with dads' boots.









caught in the act ....he didn't know whether he was in trouble or not!

this photo was taken so, so long ago , this little chap is probably

a dad himself now.

he inspired two paintings....'The Tumbleweeds'  and 'Wellies and Whitebait'

I wonder what he'd make of my interpretations of his choice of footwear....

he was such an adorable little chap!
