Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt: What IS that?

Posted on July 19, 2008 by Barbara Harper

Theme: What IS that?| Become a Photo Hunter

This was an interesting one! I drew a complete blank until this morning when this caught my eye:

Any ideas? Parched ground during a drought? A close-up of my dry skin? Dried cookie dough?

Click –>here<– to see what it is.

Updated: I am sorry the link isn’t working!! My settings are for public viewing. I tested it and it worked fine for me, but when I tried it in Internet Explorer it came back “Private.” Grr!!

Anyway, here it is:

This goes along with the theme, too: it’s hard to tell what a finished project will look like while it is in progress, perhaps making onlookers wonder what it is:

But the details and finishing touches bring it into focus.

It reminds me of that saying, “Be patient, God isn’t finished with me yet.” We are all works-in-progress.

Beautiful cross stitch. I used to do a lot of cross stitch a long time ago and really enjoyed it 🙂
I couldn’t access your Flickr page…it says “private” so I don’t know what your other picture is.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Both are good takes on the theme. I also couldn’t access your flickr page but my guess was a mushroom. That’s been my standard guess for several this time. Happy weekend.

Very nice photos, Barbara. The first one totally stumped me.

Thanks for stopping by my place and commenting on “what is it” there.

I was going to guess the top one was tree bark. I was close(ish). 🙂

These are wonderful projects! I used to cross stitch too but I have stopped and have several big unfinished projects. Sigh!

Have a great weekend!

Well, I missed getting to “guess” yesterday – but that was clever!
