Mystery (Away) Photo
If you have been reading here over the past week you will have a headstart on this week’s Mystery Photo…
What do you think it might be?
Hint: it’s not Bush Babe’s neck, even though she thinks it feels a bit like it!!
Winner gets an 8×12 print of their Bush Babe image of choice. And a Mexican wave from us all!

You TOLD me you weren’t going to post photos of me on here – and then you put my ELBOWS?

I’m with answers 1, 3 and 5. Looks like an elephant trunk to me. Do you know how boney an elephant spine is–and how UNcomfortable it is to ride on one–even with padding? I’m thinking the only way to do it properly is to ride on their neck, right behind the head.
Took my nephew and oldest daughter (about 31 years ago) on a elephant ride at the zoo, somewhere or other.

You are all far too clever!!!! Melinn and almost everyone else is quite correct… I will be in touch Melinn if you are keen to claim your prize… and thanks everyone for being so quick off the mark and playing.
I will be back on deck properly soon – still borrowing other people’s computers and internet connections!! Will try and post a couple of pics to share a little of the excitement from our last couple of days…
Hugs

PS. What is a Mexican wave?

I’d say an elephant’s trunk?
Sorry to be a bit off topic here, but I run a blog (completely and entirely non-commercial) called http://www.farmblogs.blogspot.com
At Farm Blogs I am trying to gather in one place the very best of global blogging about farms, farming and rural life.
You can find the blog roll, sorted by country (and a General Interest section).
My posts are made up of the blog recommendations from farm bloggers and I also post regular stories about world farming.
All blogs have been recommended to me by other bloggers or identified by me during my occassional browsing.
You were recommended by Raising Country Kids (http://www.raisingcountrykids.com/)%20recommends ):
(If you’d just like to see recommendations please use the label ‘Recommendations’.)
I have a pretty broad definition of farming – if you’re producing food, you’re a farmer, to my mind at least.
So blogs range from ranches to part-time smallholders, and resources for them.
Once recommended, I add them to the blogroll and then contact the bloggers (just as I am contacting you), asking them to send me a few words about their farm/small-holding and their blog and, critically, to recommend their favourite farm/farming blogs (just as Raising Country Kids recommended you).
And so it goes and grows.
So, I’ve added you to my blog roll and I would very much appreciate it if you could please consider:
a) writing to me with a brief description of your blog along with permission for a once off only use of a couple of photos from your blog, so that I can make a posting about you;
b) writing to me with your favourite farming/rural blogs recommendations;
c) add a link on your blog, if that’s possible, to http://www.farmblogs.blogspot.com
d) please feel free to send me the odd photo, both now and on an on-going basis. The blog tries to pick up different seasonal activities in different parts of the world at different times, so any photos would be much appreciated – they also help drive traffic to your site.
I am very short on good farm/rural blogs from Australia and none from New Zealand, so particularly interested in your recommendations for these two countries.
Very much hoping to hear from you,
With kind regards,
Ian

P.S My wife is Australian so I’d love to get some more good Aussie blogs for the family to look at together.

Woo-Hoo! (doing the happy dance)
I’m with Debbie, what’s a Mexican wave and will I be able to see it all the way over here in Michigan?

Elephant flesh?

You were lurking about in the garden to get a shot of my knees!?

OK OK… show’s over people!! Heh heh.. thanks for playing… see today;s post for an update and explanation. Melinn is our first-in mystery photo winner (although you are ALL winners in my book!).
Mexican wave?? Are you serious?? What do you call people standing in sequence around a stadium throwing their hands in the air (a la Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally?). The great Oz-American/Canadian language barrier… whew!!
Debby
We call it ‘the wave’. What’s Mexico got to do with it?
