It’s been here for weeks, ignored by the thousands of motorists whizzing by at speeds well beyond the posted 60 km/h limit.
Except us.
Our daughter notices it first during a recent drive home. I barely pick it up in my peripheral vision - I’m driving - and figure it’ll be gone the next time we pass through.
Except day after day, week after week, it’s still there, its red upturned sole fading slowly to pink under the unrelenting sun. So I return to the scene and shoot it - carefully, with a long lens, from the sidewalk.
Somewhere there’s another boot just like it. The story of how they somehow got separated will forever be a mystery, which is perhaps as it should be.
Not everything needs an answer, after all. But I do hope whoever wore this lost boot - and the other one, of course - is doing all right. Because even if we can’t know the back story, we can at least hope that it’s a happy one.
