Dry As a Bone

From Beirut to .................where? I am interested in hearing your best guess.

[Sheila]

Texas?

[J. Voorberg]

seeing the skull is resting on an irrigation valve box I would have to guess this is in a mall...am I right???

[katy]

@swguevin no

[katy]

@jayberg no but good eye! I didn't see that when I took it or edited it!

[Leslie]

Your backyard

[katy]

@lesip LOL! The dogs would have chewed it to bits! no

[Rick Schies]

The Valley Of Dry Bones, as written about in the book of Ezekiel

[Kimberly Balychev]

Awesome shot! Is it in a pet store? In a reptile container or something??? Oooo I wanna know...tell me tell me tell me :) hehehe

[katy]

@digitalrn Not even close but thanks for trying, Rick!

[katy]

@kbalychev Thanks, Kimberly. Good guess but no! LOL! I'll reveal all soon!

[Diane]

Desert display in botanic garden?

[Diane]

Arizona?

[katy]

@eudora good guess and close! Arizona ...no! ;~}

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Whaaaat???? wow.ummmmm, that's a shot that just stops you right in your tracks!!! are you on set somewhere making a movie???

[katy]

@ruthmouch LOL! no ! how about the contrast form Beirut to this?

[Marilyn Wigen]

I have no idea, but I'm going to say Birmingham, because I think it has a nice ring to it... From Beirut to Birmingham... don't you agree? I also don't think it's as dry as it seems based on the very green little weeds growing around the cacti.

[katy]

@marilyn LOL! It does have a nice ring! You are right about not being dry and I had to pull quite a few weeds to get it even this close!

[Steve Hankins]

Sante Fe?

[katy]

@hankinsphoto Another great guess but no.

[Peter de Graaff]

A little bit of cactus

[Vee]

I can't imagine where this is....what kind of skeleton is that? A deer?

[katy]

@peterdegraaff More than just a little!

[katy]

@vskolnik I am not sure, Vee! I though it was a cow.

[m9f9l]

Pet store was my guess until you said something about pulling weeds....

[katy]

@m9f9l Good guess! not it!~

[m9f9l]

Do you have Hispanic neighbors? Mine told me I can harvest their cactus for food anytime I want :-)

[katy]

@m9f9l I don't! have you done that?

[m9f9l]

No. Not yet. :-)

[katy]

@m9f9l How do you eat cactus?! aside from the very obvious answer "carefully"!

[Darlene]

I have no clue after all the guesses above. You are too funny.

[katy]

@swguevin @jayberg @hankinsphoto @lesip @digitalrn @kbalychev @eudora @ruthmouch @marilyn @peterdegraaff @vskolnik @m9f9l Thanks for playing everyone! It is the decor in front of a Mexican restaurant in my town! I have been there a few time but never with my camera! I happened to have it this day and after carefully weeding around the skull and getting a few stickers in my hand I crouched down in front of it (just a little self consciously) snapped a shot or two!

[katy]

@darsphotos I just typed the response above while you were commenting!

[Kimberly Balychev]

Very cool!! I would've never guessed! :)

[katy]

@kbalychev LOL! I think that was the goal! ;~}

[Kimberly Balychev]

Hehe :) it was a fun guessing game for sure :)

[m9f9l]

Yes, carefully!LOL http://www.wikihow.com/Eat-Prickly-Pear-Cactus And I think a Mexican restaurant counts as Hispanic neighbors! So I win!! :-)

[katy]

@m9f9l LOL! Hispanic yes, neighbors no! Half a win at best! ;~}

[Marilyn Wigen]

@grammyn Mexico Tipico?

[Darlene]

Very cool find, Katy. I would do what you did for a photo like this also. How fun this was.

[katy]

@marilyn No one on the crossroad past Wal mart

[katy]

@darsphotos Thanks again, Darlene!

[Dawn Reilly]

lol lol! see? an adventure helps you to see what is around you in a different way!! very well done!

[katy]

@sunshinephoto5 You are so right! ;~} thanks, Dawn!

[Tara]

Never would have guessed, looks authentic, like in the middle of the dessert. Cool shot!

[katy]

@tara11 it is a little strange to see inn my town but DOES give the restaurant an air of authenticity. Thanks, Tara!

[PasadenaRose]

That's a cool shot. It's so interesting to see how skull plates knit together.

[katy]

@pasadenarose Thanks you, Rose! i agree with you too!
