Marco P. started a mystery photo challenge.  It was really fun!  For some time now, he has been doing celebrities.  I don't know much about celebrities, so it's not interesting to me.  I've decided to start a new one (I promise no celebrities!).

This is a snippet from a photo.  Try to guess what it is!  I will monitor the guesses and give hints.

Revealing more, here is a *HINT* photo!

THE WINNER IS APRIL J.

 Here is the full photo!

Portfolio?
Ginny H. Aug 20, 2007, 7:02pm EDT
Blinds?
Anne B. Grote Aug 20, 2007, 7:03pm EDT
It's a crucifix!
Jennifer N. Aug 20, 2007, 7:03pm EDT
Hm it does kinda look like those expandable portfolios.
Tom d. Aug 20, 2007, 7:04pm EDT
Shower curtain - that needs replacing! lol
Heather P. Aug 20, 2007, 7:07pm EDT
Keep guessing! This one may be a little harder than the last one.
Mariah H. Coruth Aug 20, 2007, 7:10pm EDT
fabric? :/
Ms. Meacham: Money Maven Aug 20, 2007, 7:10pm EDT
How about silk curtains on a rod? Although I'm not sure what that would be in the foreground...looks like twigs to me.
Miz Lynn aka/BooBoo Aug 20, 2007, 7:10pm EDT
pleated lampshade
Lacey K. Aug 20, 2007, 7:11pm EDT
Old books?

carpet fibers
Karl Leuba Aug 20, 2007, 7:15pm EDT
I think it is a Kilt, and nothing is worn under a kilt. so it is just as good as new.
Heather P. Aug 20, 2007, 7:15pm EDT
*Hint*

What IS in the foreground?
Vicki O. Aug 20, 2007, 7:16pm EDT
I should have taken a guess on #2 first, just to do them in order. I like order. At first it looked like drapes to me, but I would vote for portfolio too. And LOL Tom d. Maybe they are drapes that need replacing. I'll take another look. It isn't pipe organs, although I do see a wooden face. It's not a fence. Now it looks like something made of cloth. OK, I'll go on to #2 now.
Heather P. Aug 20, 2007, 7:17pm EDT
hehehe Karl!
Catherine M. Aug 20, 2007, 7:18pm EDT
Butterfly wing. From way, way up close.
Heather P. Aug 20, 2007, 7:19pm EDT
Vicki o.

#2 has already been solved, sorry.

I guess you'll have to guess on this one!
Vicki O. Aug 20, 2007, 7:19pm EDT
Am I allowed another guess? Now if looks like dresses hanging on wooden coat hangers.
Last guess on #3. NOW I'll try #2.
Vicki O. Aug 20, 2007, 7:21pm EDT
LOL. OK, I type too slow, and I guess I didn't win #3 either (sigh) :)
Elaine B. Aug 20, 2007, 7:21pm EDT
Curtins
Mariah H. Coruth Aug 20, 2007, 7:22pm EDT
From a painting or a plant pot?
Heather P. Aug 20, 2007, 7:22pm EDT
Vicki O.

You can guess as many times as you would like!

#3 is not even close to being over!

This one is harder than #2!
M & M. Aug 20, 2007, 7:23pm EDT
It looks like a door with a cross key hole.
Heather P. Aug 20, 2007, 7:24pm EDT
Thank you Dean!
Mariah H. Coruth Aug 20, 2007, 7:27pm EDT
I am stumped! I am sure once we know we will all say "oh yeah" LOL
Heather P. Aug 20, 2007, 7:28pm EDT
*HINT*

It is not fabric
Jennifer N. Aug 20, 2007, 7:29pm EDT
The foreground looks like a plant or flower. So, perhaps it's a wooden fence in someone's yard?
Ginny H. Aug 20, 2007, 7:31pm EDT
Accordion?
April J. Aug 20, 2007, 7:32pm EDT
Wooden gate, partly open.

April J. Aug 20, 2007, 7:37pm EDT
I'm going to sound crazy...but it almost looks like there's a tree with a face on the trunk...lol.
Spiritguided Woman Aug 20, 2007, 7:37pm EDT
an organ?
Mariah H. Coruth Aug 20, 2007, 7:37pm EDT

Heather P. Aug 20, 2007, 7:38pm EDT
LOL April J.!

Keep guessing!
Spiritguided Woman Aug 20, 2007, 7:38pm EDT
A piccolo?
April J. Aug 20, 2007, 7:39pm EDT
looks like a forest in the background...or is it one tree with a fence in the background?
April J. Aug 20, 2007, 7:40pm EDT
This reminds me of The Wizard of Oz in a way...I think I need psychological help. Maybe when I become a psychologist I can help myself! hehehe
April J. Aug 20, 2007, 7:40pm EDT
Treehouse?
April J. Aug 20, 2007, 7:42pm EDT

Jerri H. Aug 20, 2007, 7:46pm EDT
