Happy December!!
As I mentioned in the last puzzler, this is your LAST CHANCE to be entered in the quarterly drawing. If you want to qualify, use the comment box below to add your guess.
What is this in the photo below?
If you can identify it, your name will be entered in the drawing and you could win my holiday DVD (If you happen to already own this, I will choose something else!)
You can see the size of this… it is yellow and black and feels a bit like plastic, though it is not plastic. It is natural and from something that can be found in the eastern United States. This is only a PART of the whole–like a porcupine quill is part of a porcupine.
Hint: What if I said that that 26 states have designated a state __?___ and that two of them have chosen the animal this represents?
Have a wonderful day. I will see you again soon.
I am guessing it is part of turtle’s shell.
Ahhhh, and then I might ask, what kind of turtle?
I don’t know what it is but I think I want one! It looks like it would be a great pendant.
Bark of some sort? A shell?
Colleen, you are right, it would make a great pendant! Another stellar idea! Not bark. Not a shell….
It’s part of the shell of a box turtle?
Renee! You are so smart! Woo hoo, and the crowd goes wild!
That’s an easy one! Box turtle scute….or could it be a colorful wood turtle, hmmm
Beth! It is so nice to see you here!! I hope you are well and enjoying life in your neck of the woods. Of course you are right about the puzzler! And this shot was taken way back when I worked at Trailside I think! That seems like soooooo long ago. Those were good days–so many fond memories of my time there. Hugs and kisses to you and Ralph! Happy Holidays!
Red slider turtle shell
This is a great guess! And you are close, but not exactly correct. Thanks for reading!
