Did I promise you a doozy for this week’s Macro Monday? I think I did, didn’t I? But perhaps it’s not fair, since you found last week’s difficult enough. And I thought it was so easy, too!
Well. Have a go at this one and see what you think. To me it looks obvious, but I did take the photo. Tee hee. I think most of you will struggle. But struggle on, valiant bloggers! Just think how proud you’ll be if you guess correctly!
This fairly commonplace object was photographed in the garden, as you see, and it was out there for good reason, but quite a lot of the time it lives in the house. It’s old now, and a little rusted, but still works just as well as it did when it was brand new.
Don’t forget that you can click to enlarge it, but you’ll have to click again on the next page to get the full sized version. And since I can’t think of any other clues to give you that wouldn’t be a dead giveaway, off you go now. You’re on your own.
The answer will appear on Tuesday evening, as usual, in the form of a picture link at the bottom of this post. I’ll write in the comments then, too. I don’t want to answer people till then, because I might say something which will help you guess, and that would be unfair to those who join in late.
Good luck!
Ha! Well, I did say it would be really difficult this week, and so it has proved. Once again not one of you guessed correctly, and this is only the second time this has happened. Nobody was really close on this one, although if I have to pick the best guess it would be Jama with the very vague ‘some kind of tool’. Also, Margaret was ‘slightly warm’ with her guess which included the phrase ‘at the end of a handle’, and Annelie scores a point or two also for mentioning ‘handle’. Now you’re really intrigued, aren’t you? Tee hee.
Go here, and all will become clear! This thing hasn’t changed in my lifetime, and was probably designed early last century!
Once again, thanks for being such good sports and taking part in my puzzle! Next week will seem like a doddle in comparison! Now there’s something to look forward to!
Ohhh….again, I don’t really know. Reminds me a bit of a chain end fastener. Have no idea what to call what I am thinking of.
Got me again!

I forgot it was Monday! Long weekends do that to you . . looks like a little bell but I’m sure it’s far more practical if it has a ‘purpose’, perhaps a ‘tool’ of somesort for undoing nuts or something. Defo a doozy! Also looks a bit like the fastener on our paddock gate but that’s solid. Hmmmm . . .

I.do.not.know.
You enjoy keeping us guessing Jay!
.-= Kala´s last blog ..No promises in fairyland. =-.
Reminiscent of a ‘jingle bell’. Well, kind of. LOL Really not sure.
Here is mine…PENELOPE the pelican
Hope your Monday is treating you well!
You’re a mean one Mrs Jay! I thought of a waterspout of some watering can or other, but it doesn’t really look like it. So, basically: I don’t know.

It reminded me of the bell on my cat’s collar, but you don’t have cats, do you?

some type of screwdriver

I had to sit and stare at this one for a while. I’m pretty sure that I’ve never seen one of these, but I’m guessing that it’s some sort of specialty gripping tool. Maybe…
.-= Colleen´s last blog ..Six legged critters =-.
Awesome Shot..its a beauty! It looks like the little holder for a rotary tool..(the proper term escapes me)..but you put your bit in it and it holds it in place!
Great shot!!
Your picture is fantastic, but as for guessing goes, I have no idea!

Fairly commonplace in the house, but it’s now in the garden?

All I can see is some sort of bell, but I’m sure it can’t be that. Yours are too hard for me
.-= babs´s last blog ..Mo I’ve got a splinter! =-.
It does look like a jingle bell, but I’ve never seen one that color. Maybe a finial for something?
.-= ethelmaepotter´s last blog ..And Suddenly…It was Summer. =-.
It looks like a grabber of some sort – that opens somewhere at the end of a handle. I have a long thin one which reaches into unreachable places! An old implement. Thank you for visiting!

I would guess a bell too. These puzzles are fun!

Somekind of tool? I’m just not sure….
.-= Jama´s last blog ..Ruby Tuesday: Red Car =-.
Oh Geez!!!!
I have NO IDEA.
Is it at least made of metal?
And IF SO can I please get partial credit?

Something at the water pipe ? No idea !
.-= Gattina´s last blog ..RUBY RED TUESDAY =-.
SecretAgentWoman – Hahahahaha!!
Meleah – Yes, it’s made of metal. I don’t think I’m giving anything away here, since I’ve already said it’s slightly rusted!
Irritating. I have a feeling it is something common place but I have no idea.
.-= Vicki´s last blog ..Macro Monday: Shells =-.
Could it be the handle to a stair railing? Outside, in the garden? Stunning it is anywhay…..
Thnk´s for your comment on my blog!
.-= Annelie´s last blog ..I ? faces! =-.
It looks like part of a wind chime, but that seems too easy so it must be wrong!
It also resembles a sort of cow bell, but I don’t suppose you have ‘a sort of cow’ with or without a bell in your garden.
I know! It’s the bit that works the thingymajig!

Hi !
I couldn´t guess either what it was.
Had to look at the answers
Good macroshot !
Thank´s for visiting my blog !
Have a nice week !
.-= Camilla “Lillagul´s last blog ..Macro Monday =-.
Moon – I think you probably would, too! LOL!
Everyone – Thanks so much for taking part and putting up with the odd and sometimes impossible shot. I hope you enjoyed trying to guess this one, anyway!
I loved reading through the comments and seeing this object through your eyes – ‘a bell’ or ‘some kind of tool’ seemed to be the most popular guesses this week and I can easily see why! It really should have been a tool, shouldn’t it? And in a way, it is.
I hope you’ll join me next week. As usual, after a really difficult puzzle, I’ll try to make it a lot easier for you!
This was a hard one, but I had fun playing!
