This week’s
WIIW caused a lot more angst than I expected.
Christine
who commented first said “Easy! Not to me it isn't! I confess that I'm stumped.
I'll have to wait for the reveal. I've been enjoying your recent flower pics,
by the way.”
As I said
in my clue the answer was “closer than you think”, I’ll award 40% for that
answer (you’ll have to wait to see why below)
I am
pleased you enjoy them! I have fun too. I can see the plate/dish thing especially
one of those colourful melamine ones. But it wasn’t! 30% for that answer.
Linda G
said “I get very nervous when you say "easy."
Hmmm. Looks like the edge of a plate to me, too. Maybe a paper plate. Either that or the back of an iridescent shrimp.”

Nervous?
I’m hurt deeply hurt! J
I can see
the shrimp too, except of course it isn’t, 30% + 10% for the shrimp!
Jai went
with the popular kitchen items theme saying “Looks like the edge of a bowl to
me. Or even the edge of a shiny reflecting spoon.”
Marcy
crushed my feelings too with a “you always say it's easy and it never is!”
Then she
headed in a completely different direction with “I was going to guess a
close-up droplet of water on a plant leaf. But honestly I have no clue.”
Self
doubt? I’ll hold off awarding points for that one, except I will say again my
clue was the answer was “closer than you think”.
Kristen M
said “I'm thinking shell”
I can see
that too! And of course not so long ago I posted part of this Abalone as a WIIW 
and it looks very similar to this one. I’ll award 40% for that guess too!
Susan, as
usual, was a straight speaker with “Well, phooey on you for saying how
"easy" this one is. That's kinda like a game show host saying how
easy a question is... because he has the answer written on the paper he's
holding in his hand. Looks like you got me again. The back of a shrimp? Nah. Ya
got me.”
Nope not
a shrimp! But that sas deserves 45%.
Jennifer
(AKA Old Kitty) guessed “It's a button!”
It does
kind of look like a button that is another 40%.
So now to
the reveal.
Two
people mentioned the solution, hence my clue.
Christine
specifically mentioned my “recent flower pics” in fact I posted flowers just on
Tuesday.
But the
person who takes the cake this week is Marcy with her guess of - “I was going
to guess a close-up droplet of water on a plant leaf.”
If you
had stopped there you would have earned a cool 100%. But you next self-doubting
sentence “But honestly I have no clue.” knocks that back down to 70% because:
Only the
night before on my wildflower post was this image of a Sundew, with on its leaf
- a drop of water!
