This thread is inspired by the fun in @sorce 's Ulmus Selfie Contest (http://www.bonsainut.com/index.php?threads/ulmus-selfie-contest.18272/).
Instead of elms and faces, I'm calling for maples and foot(s). Why? Because constraints, even arbitrary ones, inspire creativity. Maybe I'll be sorry, but I'm sure I'll be entertained!

So, let's see a maple with your nebari - a foot, shoe, prosthetic, boot-for-a-pot, whatever ya' got. This should be fun! Maybe now some of the more camera shy 'nuts will join in as well :)

Here's one to get things started:

It's the palmatum from this thread:http://www.bonsainut.com/index.php?threads/japanese-maple-air-layer.18273/ - and I've got steel-toed-shit-kickers on this morning.

So Bnuts, kick up your feet . . .

Those are some scary looking Judge Dredd Boots! Pretty impressive liquor cabinet too, 'cept all the bottles look empty... I think someone has been raiding it!

I was just wondering why there are no roots- it looks like it would have been a great tree.
It had potential...but it also had crappy roots. With tridents, the takeaway is to do the important root work early in their development

Off topic but the hobbit feet just reminded me that my little brother would shave the top of his feet when we were younger in hopes of them growing thicker hair... hahaha ... he loved Lord of the rings..

Way too much talking.

Why does Smoke always have the best advice?

Given enough time, anyone can stick their foot in their mouth.
