I'm stumped! I've Googled almost to breaking point :) There has to be a story behind this whimsical mural found on a garage wall along Hay St.but it has successfully eluded moi! Although it was a futile search I did learn something from the exercise.. in the high powered world of stocks and shares the FTSE (footsie) tree is 'an objective benchmark against which to measure investment portfolios'.. I'm sure the real story behind this mural would be so much more entertaining :) Huge storm here last night, haven't been out to check for damage yet! Hope you had or are still having a fab weekend, take care...p.s. no parking overtime here, clamped and $135 fine, glad I was walking!
Ah, a "footsie" tree indeed!! You do find the best photo stuff, Grace!! I always look forward to seeing what you've come up with every day -- I'm never disappointed!! We're still having unusually warm weather for September in the northwest, but I'm not complaining!! Have a great new week!!
ReplyDeleteNow this strange and I find it a little creepy, perhaps because I've just O.D.'d on Criminal Minds!
ReplyDeleteI've been watching Crminal Minds on Netflix too Ciel, I think I'm in season 7, I never gave a thought to living by myself,,,now every noise freaks me out.
DeleteI'm mystified. :-)
ReplyDeleteA tree like that would have toemites?
ReplyDeleteToemites! That's a good one!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what it means but I do like it, Grace!
ReplyDeleteI hope there was no damage from the storm. Really awesome mural.

het is wel een geweldig mooie muurschildering.
ReplyDeleteGrace, I am curious too why you couldn't find any reference to its origin or artist on the Internet? Very mysterious.
ReplyDeletepulled up 23,500,000 possibles for "footsie tree", then I added "art" and it didn't get any better :) it would be interesting to know something about the artist and/or his/her imagination!!! great photos by the way
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Love all the feet in flip-flops! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is certainly something different!
ReplyDeleteWonderful allien!
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me, I must phone my sister.....
ReplyDeleteYou create for us such an encompassing reality here that I can remember the night storm.
ReplyDeleteAnother interesting photo, G!

That is sooooo cool.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the artist might have been smoking weed at some point!
ReplyDeleteWhimsical is the right work to describe this one. I like it's quirky look.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very clever work. Artist, step forward and make yourself known.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Grace, I haven't got a clue.
ReplyDeleteThat is too cute.
ReplyDeleteStumped me!!
ReplyDeleteThis is hysterical. It looks like it's an illustration from a children's book. A weird one, to be true, but no doubt fascinating. I note that the tree has seven feet. Seven is such an evocative number across many cultures, that it too must have some meaning. Let us know if you find out more about this eye catching mural. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting mural, bad luck that you can't find out about it.
ReplyDeleteGosh there are some imaginative and creative people out there. I love the proportions and uniqueness of this "Footsie" creature.
ReplyDeleteexcellent painter
ReplyDeleteSome people have some seriously damaged imaginations! Very weird!
ReplyDeleteEstupendas las fotos que nos dejas.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Those tootsies are sooo... cute Grace. I'm battening down before that storm hits here ....
ReplyDeleteInteresting and funny mural, so nice pained!
ReplyDeletedon't you hate when you can't find info on things like this?!! i hope there wasn't any damage!
ReplyDeleteA funny mural! l like it!
ReplyDeleteHo ho, strange and fun, how much fantasy!
ReplyDeleteI do very much like the whimsy in this mural!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the bad storm! Hope all is well.
Here we get 'booted' with a device that makes your vehicle a 'no go'. If that happened you'd be walking for sure.
ReplyDeleteHello Grace, I hope everything there is fine, please take care. I'm always terrified by storms.
ReplyDeleteThis tree mural is wonderful! We can imagine many stories about the painted tree.
Hugs
Leia
That is a great find Grace and now you have me wondering about the story behind it too. I hope there was no damage from the storm!
ReplyDeleteCute cute tree. Ouch on the overtime parking fees!
ReplyDeleteWe had a great weekend....thanks for the visit.always happy to see you!
A lovely mural Grace. Hope your house and garden survived the storms! Quite scary, just my garden is in a bit of disarray from those high winds!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love that mural, Grace! Your fines... wow. In that case... too high. But I saw (1999, somewhere in Oz) a real high fine for parking on spots reserved for disabled - right thing to do!
ReplyDeleteYips, hope there isn´t too much damage due to the storm (yes, reading backwards due to your introduction "Moreton Bay Fig trees in yesterdays post.. ".
I Love that mural (and your photos of it). It's the fig tree, right?
