Mystery Spots and Pet Photo Day

There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly. ~R. Buckminster Fuller

Okay, so my first picture wasn’t quite as mysterious as I had hoped. A lot of you got it right off. Yes, the spots on a butterfly wing. I do appreciate those of you who used a little more imagination and saw pasta or fish pieces or potato cakes (liked that one, Lois) or brownies with white chocolate chips (Yum, Lucy) or walnut kernels or dough. Hmm, are we getting a pattern here? Maybe those of you with those guesses were hungry. LOL. Ola thought beauty with her flower petal guess. I liked Una’s guess of “spots on something.” And you know, she was right!

But most of you looked at the picture and saw butterfly wings and you were right too. I do love taking pictures of butterflies. Actually in a mystery photo game in the past, I had a moth wing. A lot of you guessed that one too. I should have learned from that. But all those right guesses just make me more determined to get way more mysterious on this next picture. Or at least hope I’m getting way more mysterious. 🙂

So up top is mystery photo 2. A guess on a new picture gets you another entry in the drawing for one of my books and if you want, you can even pick my new release River to Redemption. The guess doesn’t have to be right and remember, it’s more fun if you guess before you read all the other guesses. You might be led astray by their wrong guesses. LOL. I’ll draw for the first winner on Friday. Another winner next Friday and then two winners on deadline Friday, July 27th. You do have to be at least 18 years old to enter the drawing, but you can let your kids help you figure out these mysteries!

All American Pet Photo Day

It’s no mystery that I’m a dog lover. My husband says I need to get my kennel license since I’m dog sitting for a friend and that’s after dog sitting for my son’s dogs last week. My dog, Frankie, is in dog heaven. He loves having dog company. Well, people company too, but I won’t let him play fight with the people company. I’ve taken several pictures of Frankie and his new buddy, Marley, but until I spotted it on Twitter this morning, I didn’t know it was All American Pet Photo Day. It’s some kind of special day every day, but Pet Photo Day is one of the fun ones.

Naturally I posted some dog pictures. That made me think about all the many dogs I’ve had through the years. So in honor of pet day, here are a few of them. First there’s Ollie, my very first all mine dog. Then Jody, my cockerspaniel. And of course, sweet Oscar. And finally Frankie and his buddy, Marley. Note I haven’t gotten Frankie to take a selfie with me yet. So that’s my Pet Photo Day.


Thanks for playing my mystery photo game. I’m looking forward to your guesses on the new mystery photo and as always, thanks for reading.

    Lucy, I have to say that you have the most exotic guess yet. And it could be you’re right, but if you are, I might be the most surprised of all. LOL.

    Evelyn, you’re showing your farm background there. But then again, I’m a farm girl too, so it could be that it is a horse or cow eyes. Could be.

    Linda, Frankie does have an interesting mouth and he does like to keep it open licking people all the time. My husband hates that.

    Laura, a dog paw, hmm? Could be. Could not be, but you aren’t the only one to think it might be just that. We’ll see on Sunday.

    Lisa, you’re right there with Laura, thinking I managed to get Frankie to pose his paw. But you know Frankie never likes to sit still. And surely I wouldn’t give such a hint in the last post. Surely. 🙂

  2. I’ve got it! It’s a photo of Frankie turned on his back, it’s of his tummy where the black hair starts 🙂

  3. Stumped, but, will guess it’s a picture of a dog’s tongue…perhaps from the picture of your precious Oscar ❤️

  4. I’m going to guess that you’re tricking us and already posted the whole photo. I think the mystery photo is a close up of one of the dogs’ paws. Otherwise, I’ve got nothing!

      Fun guess, Nancy, but I doubt I could ever get Frankie to sit still enough to take a picture of the inside of his ear. 🙂 Then again, maybe I’m just telling you that to make you think you’re guessing wrong. I can be tricky with these mystery photos.

  5. Wow that guessing time went by in a hurry. I didn’t get to play that guessing game but I never would have guessed spots on a butterfly wing. This next one is a stumper, too. First thing that came to mind was watermelon! 😄😃😀
    Loved the doggie pictures! Lost all my pictures except those post Katrina and that was only forone dog. However, I have them all in my memory bank. We did love all of our dogs. 😊
