Here's last Wednesday's picture:

This is the shot it was cropped from:

Michele was the first one to get this right...she said: "A nutcracker and a walnut?"; many of you followed. My friend MaryEllen (ME) had the funniest answer this week: "It's my royal scepter conking you on the brain" Very well could be!

So this week...

what is it?

I think its candle wax....

Chocolate?!

Damn, Laura beat me to it. Candle wax is my guess too. Since that's taken, I'll say it, um...lava! Yeah....lava, only it's kind of cool lava and it's flowing into a volcano instead of out of it. Yeah, that's it. That's the ticket!

I thought Candle wax right away, but it may be the melting plastic used to make Flip Flops. LOL!

I'm with the wax!

I like the nutcracker ornament. That's cute. :)

Happy New Year!

I know this one! woo hoo! It's a candle, with some little melted driplets of wax on the side!

Melting Candle Wax. Getting here first is hard with DebR up and reading blogs at 1:01AM! Go Deb!

I too would say it's candle wax and I'm ALWAYS wrong at these so who knows what it really is!

Never would've gotten that one. ;)

One of Snape's potions going terribly wrong? LOL

A burning candle.. just off-center.

fiery pits of hell???

A red candle, from above. You can see that little pool of wax that I used to imagine when I was a child was an ocean, with a tower of fire in the middle. :)

A pillar candle, burning, seen from the top looking down.

Looks a bit like runny hemorrhoids to me.

yeah, I go for candle wax too

My first impression was wax then I second guessed and thought chocolate, but I think it's wax.

isn't that the fire pit where Frodo is supposed to destroy the ring?

My first thought was candle wax as well.Attempting to be more preciece, it is wax melting down the side of the glass container of a candle. It looks like my candles do after a couple of days burning when they do not melt evenly down all the sides of the glass, and then it starts to catch up.

Happy New Year everyone.
