Brain Challenge

OK, I'm going to take a stab at posting a game. The prize isn't much, but the fun will be in playing the game anyway, so I hope you'll play and have a good time. Me and my dear friend, Kim went "shooting" the other day, just taking random shots of whatever. I wanted to get creative with what I captured so I thought I'd make a game out of my pictures. Since Valentine's Day is fast approaching, I am posting 14 pictures and you have to try and guess what they are. You will have to post your answers as a comment in the correct order. So, you will need to number your answers and put your guess beside the number. I will take entries until 9:00 p.m. on Friday, February 6th. If I have more than one person with all the correct answers, I will draw a winner, to be announced by Saturday morning. If no one guesses them all correctly, the person with the highest number of correct answers will be the winner. Be sure to leave your name when you comment so I will know how to contact the winner for delivery of the prize. Like I said, the prize isn't much, but I found the little trinket to be quite appropriate with Valentine's Day right around the corner. (And remember, you can always click on any picture to make it bigger. This might help you figure out what some of these are.)

Good luck and have fun!

hmmm 4 right? Had to put my thinking cap back on.
1. a feather, seems to be the going answer here.
2. that's a piece of wood, or my name is not Jeremy
3. Corner of building, perhaps a storage shed
4. Grass that grows on the side of pond, or in some cases middle of a yard.
5. Sweet Gum Ball, I had most of it right at first, just had a mental block.
6. Could be a knob or some sort, it has laquer on it, because the flash reflects, hmmmm I still like a vase, but that is probably wrong
7. Chicken wire, otherwise known as chain link fence
8. It is a faucet, however, it could be inside..ie mud room sink
9. Since I was close the first time, perhaps the terra cotta pot itself, though I still think it looks shallow.
10. I think perhaps it is one of those blankets you mentioned in your most recent posts.
11. Perhaps Part o' deer instead of part o' cat, maybe just before it reaches the mount that it is on, hmmmm I think so
12. old rusty lid, someone needs to pick that up;-)
13. siding
14. plant material, I have seen something similar in the yard, but I am not sure what that is....
those are my guesses, as for a wassal recipe, no I don't have one, but I know someone who does!
