On Tuesday, Secondary Roads announced another photo quiz. Twenty intrepid souls came forward with their answers.
So you are dying to know what it is . . . right? Well, just to remind you here is what our contestants were trying to identify:
The most common answer given was, grass. Justine explained her answer this way, “I think it’s just plain ol’ grass that you made look funky with a photo editor. I’m right, right?” Next was a flower. A brush or broom received as many votes as some form of sea life. Other answers were: carpet, a disco artifact, mold on an old pizza and Pink Floyd at the end of a concert tour. That one may even be believable.
My friend vanilla said, “Or a highly magnified view of a “rinse” gone terribly wrong, in which case I’m hoping not Sylvia.” Another blogger bud replied in a private e-mail to say that she was sure it wasn’t Sylvia’s hair because I was still alive.
One blogger bud and sister of mine who will remain unnamed even talked herself out of the right answer. (She would have been second with it anyway.)
The winner receives: 1000 EC credits, the Tommy Toe Award and whatever fame she cares to claim.
The Tommy Toe is in honor of my mother who called this wonderful fruit by that name.
So what was it?
It is a thistle blossom. If you had posted it, I’d have probably guessed a shaving brush, but that just shows my age.
The winner is Pricilla! Yea! I should have known that a goat, particularly a wise and clever goat like Pricilla would spot a thistle from across the pasture.
Thanks to all 20 of you who participated in this contest and made it the best yet for Secondary roads.
Who let the cat in the house?
nyahahah… I really thought it's a grass.. heheh.. anyway, congrats to Pricilla! – smart!
WTG Pricilla! I really thought I had it right this time. Dang! You really cracked me up with this post, Chuck.
Justine 😮 )
That is very cool! Once I see the solution it makes perfect sense. I would have never guessed correctly though. I gotta start trying these more often, I love games.
Congrats to pricilla, I never would have guessed that.
Congrats Pricilla, well done.
Pricilla, You are lovely, wise and hungry. You can come to my house and eat that thistle if you like. I've got others too. You can have them all.
Shinade, When I was a kid we called them prickers. Very descriptive.
Lin, Maybe you could try boiling them and having some for lunch. 😉
Pricilla won because she EATS that for breakfast! Cheater. 🙁
Congratulations Priscilla. I just took a photo the other day of a thistle bloom.
Wow, you'd think I would have guessed it. But, as I didn't know it was a thistle I have a picture of until now, that explains a great deal!!
I'm glad it is Priscilla because I need to grab her link for my roll!!
Happy weekend you two!!:-))
Wow, I am a very honored goat and apparently a very hungry goat too.
Thank you so much for my award. I will have to get the publicist to figure out how to get it onto my site. She goes out to the food bank on Fridays to volunteer so it might not happen until tomorrow.
Congratulations, Priscilla. [munch,munch]
A fun contest and some fun responses.
