Textures of the zoo ~ Revealed and a winner too!

So here they are! The textures revealed...

From top to bottom:

1. The skin of an elephant trunk

2. A banana leaf with dew on it

3. The trunk of a tree in the Rainforest Exhibit...with a praying man, Mary and or a dragon in it. I didn't notice the images until my Sarah pointed the "Lady" out. Just neat.

4. A pirannah! I took the picture through glass and the way it came out was just so neat. That was a tough one, I know!

5. The center of a peony.

And, the winner is....our lovely friend Dagmar from Barefoot From Heaven! She had the closest guesses. Please email me at kasiablue72@msn.com to exchange our info.

Thanks so much for playing with me. I am already plotting my next brain teaser :)

After a rather humid day at the Buffalo Zoo with my 6 year old, I sat down to look at all of the pictures that I had taken during the trip. Many were conventional ~ like giraffes, monkeys and a posing toucan ~ and others just made me go Wow, what a textured and tactile world we live in!

So, in the spirit of having a little fun, we're going to play a guessing game. If you can guess what each of the pictures represent you will have a chance to win a free Chrysanthemum ring from my Poetica Studio on Etsy. Please submit all of your entries as a comment on this post. If multiple people guess correctly, then a drawing will be held to determine the winner. Entries must be submitted by June 3, 2009. Winner will be announced on June 4th right here on my blog.

Have fun and good luck!!!! Some of them are hard because they may not be exactly what you might think :)
