McIntosh, Alabama

Matt and I stopped by an old, abandoned house yesterday to take pictures of the wisteria. As we left, I noticed these old boots sitting on the steps. I stopped back by on my way to work this morning so I could share them with you. I'm sure there's a story behind them. I imagined a man pulling them off before going inside after a hard day's work. But why didn't he put them back on? Did he win the lottery and quit his job? Did he die in his sleep? Maybe he just retired and refused to put them on again.
