If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.

I’d like to give you a hint for this photo, but I can’t think of anything that won’t be a dead giveaway. So you are on your own. What is this a close up photo of?
It looks sort of mossy, or maybe the bark of a tree…

You are on the right track in thinking it is something from nature, but it isn’t moss or bark.

I have no clue what that is, and I need to stop staring and tormenting myself trying to figure it out!

Grey or gray, it depends on my mood as to which spelling I use. 😉
I think it’s a macro of a wasp or hornets nest.

I was going to guess dryer lint, but now after E.C. guessed wasp or hornet’s nest, I think that might be what it is. This one is a tough one.

My guess is it’s a close closeup of a dust bunny. 🙂

Not a dust bunny, but it is a good suggestion for another photo!

Some kind of regurgitated plant fiber used as nesting material. Maybe a swallow from Andonis, but it could be a paper wasp nest, I suppose…

Regurgitated plant fiber – now that you put it that way, I wish I hadn’t touched it!

Does that say a swallow from Andonis? I typed Indonesia. Must have hit the wrong spell check choice. So what was that picture of any way?
LikeLike
Yes, it does say Adonis. Blame it on the spell checker. The answer will be posted on next week’s mystery photo.

Hi,
I really have no idea, but I will go with bark from a tree. 🙂
Last weeks dried dregs of a glass of wine, I still maintain it is syrup over ice-cream. 😆

Tree bark – another good idea for a future photo! So is syrup over ice-cream!

dryer link or cat furball

Dryer lint is a popular choice, but cat fur ball is a new one. I don’t think I want to take photos of either one!

I’ve used “grey” for years but I’m tired of correcting the computer’s spell check correction so I surrender to “gray” more often than not. Have no clue as to the identity of the photo!

Grey or gray – I think we can all agree that no matter how it is spelled, we know what it means!

Yes, and when it comes to hair, it is spelled “highlights” 🙂

It looks like some kind of fiber, perhaps wool? Boiled and crocheted tightly? My hubby might buy me a macro lens for Mother’s Day. Then I can torment people, too.

Not a fiber, sorry.
A macro lens would be a very nice present. It would be fun if you posted macro photos too. Would that be Torment Tuesday or Torment Thursday?
