Once again, it’s time to play “What Is It? I expect this one will be the most difficult yet. Look it over carefully and give it your best shot. Multiple guesses are accepted and welcome.
The first correct or best guess will be declared the winner. The winner will be awarded 500 ECs and the Tommy Toe Award for sheer brilliance.
The Tommy Toe gets its name from what my mother used to call this wonderful fruit that makes such wonderful sandwiches with bacon and lettuce. The BLT was one of my mother’s favorites. Every year when fresh tomatoes were available in the garden, she would get together with a friend and they would make BLTs for lunch. I remember those days well, and I still consider the BLT to be one of my favorite sandwiches.
The first “What Is It?” contest had no declared winner. Our (Sylvia and my) first-born son, Bryant, was mostly there with his answer. However, as he is not a blogger the prize is awarded to the first runner-up. Clara of Coming back to Life. It is appropriate that she be the first winner of this award, which is in honor of our mother. (Yes, Clara is my sister.)
The second “What Is It?” contest was won by Sharkbytes. She is therefore awarded the Tommy Toe and 500 ECs.
Who will win this one? Post comments with your guesses. The winner will be announced on Friday.
Thanks Crotchety!
Secondary Roads thanks the Crotchety Old Man for the Zucchini Award, which is proudly displayed on the left side of this page. He really is a neat guy. Visit him today.
I know you are nowhere near the beach, but I would go with a really close-up view of a dead horseshoe crab lying on a warm sunny beach somewhere tropical instead of here, where the weather is cold and stinky and possibly snowy again tonight.
Justine,
ECs are Entrecard Credits. Not all bloggers are involved in that community, but for those who are it’s a way to place 125 x 125 pixel ads on other blogs.
Am I mean for not telling Sylvia? If so, I’m mean.
The rest of you need to keep guessing.

Wow, this is a weird one, Chuck. It almost looks like a bear print… on something.
Or some kind of seed pod?
Those are my only guesses, I’m afraid.
What are ECs?????
Justine 😮 )
Close up of the first plant of spring poking it’s way through the ground. I’d guess a leaf of a flower like those purple ones. I don’t know flower names.
OH, and thanks for the Tommy Toe and the ECs from last month… that was a nice surprise!
I think it is some portion of a raw plucked chicken, perhaps the side of the breast looking toward the leg, but perhaps I won’t have to commit myself to the exact GPS of chicken world.
So, my first thought was
KLINGONS!!!!!
Then I thought it looked like an elephant.
Then I thought maybe some sort of embellished jacket.
But it’s probably something totally common like a cat or a plunger or something.
My first thought was a cabbage leaf, but it could also be part of a flower.
I probably shouldn’t ruin the fun by giving the answer so quickly… but I really need to know why you winterized/shrinkwrapped King Tut’s tomb? Everyone can still easily see his facial features under the plastic, next time try to at least challenge us!
