Something in Landscape
by Rachel Hoyt
They decorate the landscape around a music hall
named for a man who animated smiles for all.
It's color is calming, loving and lovely.
In 2005 it was California's 'it' tree.

Friday Photo Fun is when I share a randomly captured
moment,
or perhaps a photo experiment with more purposeful intent,
then pair it with a rhyming riddle to exercise your mind
and teach you more weird facts to which you once were blind.

After the
answer is guessed, I will post a second, non-abstract photo,
and just in case you wanted to know,
the first is not a photoshopped version of the second -
they're shot using different techniques that to me beckon.

Wanda wins again with her guess, Pink Trumpet Tree.
Without her plant knowledge we
might never see
the answer to this riddle ditty!
As always I'm "stumped." ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut, I will give it a try... Is it the Redwood or Sequoia tree?
I always enjoy coming here! Happy Friday!

Thanks for getting the guessing started, Tameka! :) It is not a redwood or sequoia, but those are also pretty. I believe this is a shorter tree. :)
DeleteDear Rachel, Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI haven't got a clue! With some help from the big "G", I'm going with a form of Panda tree.
Answering The Call Of Love
It is completely fair game to use the big G, but no, it is not the Panda tree. :) Happy Friday!
DeleteI'm going to say it has something to do with Walt Disney. Am I close? :)
ReplyDeleteIt does have something to do with Walt Disney... when I googled it I found that (supposedly) Disney Hall is surrounded by these trees. :) Good riddle solving, Martha! :)
DeleteYea! Finally got close!
DeleteA palm tree?
ReplyDeleteNot a palm tree... it is more colorful. :) Happy Friday Pat! :)
DeleteA polk-a-dotted palm tree?
DeleteI might have to pass on this one. I'm bad with types of trees. I probably wouldn't be able to guess even if you posted the normal picture.
I'll throw poinsettia out there, though. (Is that even a type of tree?)
LOL. Polka dotted palm tree... that's it! j/k Uhm, no... not it. It is also not a poinsettia, which is actually more like a bush, I think...
DeleteI'm working on another clue... hmmmm...
Lemon????(tree)
ReplyDeleteNo, the yellow is from the tree behind the tree in question... Thanks for guessing though! :-). At this rate, we may not solve this one.
ReplyDeleteNEW CLUE FOR EVERYONE -- the answer to the riddle rhymes with the following phrases:
ReplyDeleteINK A PET FREE
and / or
SINK CRUMPET IN TEA
Ha ha Rachel...I knew it was a tree LOL (smiling) Great job on stumping me just about every time ☺
ReplyDeleteHi Mary! Thanks for coming to visit! I'm glad to know that people who are repeatedly stumped still like visiting. :)
DeleteA yellow/golden trumpet tree, but according to the clue maybe a pink trumpet tree!!
ReplyDeleteYou got it, Wanda! It's a pink trumpet tree. :) We needed you this week. I didn't know how unusual that tree was (or it's name) when I took it's picture. :) Oops! Accidental increased difficulty level.
DeleteHave a great weekend!
Good on you Wanda! I'd like to know your secret in getting these riddles right? (smile)
DeleteI cheated and looked it up yesterday after you mentioned the music hall.
DeleteI think Wanda knows the name of at least 3/4 of the plants in the world. Bryan, I can't identify plants without Google (most of the time), so I don't consider that cheating. I actually try to write the riddle to give you something random to google. :)
DeleteI'm always late to participate :( well done Wanda!
ReplyDeleteAwww, I'm sorry you always miss it. I still greatly appreciate the visit! :)
DeleteYour posts are always such fun!
