Barking Up the Wrong Tree
Where the phrase comes from · Card no. 4099
American frontier hunting, 1830s. Raccoon dogs tree their quarry and bay at the trunk, and a dog that stays with the wrong tree after the raccoon has crossed to another is entirely certain and entirely wrong.
No such place exists, which has never stopped anyone from going. Every card here is an original painting of a phrase, free to send by email or by link.
