See what you can IDentify BELOW. Some are easy, some not!

You can't really win or lose this Identify-what-it-is-game. It is just a fun thing I did with my camera and thought it would be great to share with you. My husband quit playing after a few of the tricker ones - because I showed them first! Ha!

Good luck and great guesses to all who wish to join in the fun!

These are all pictures taken in my home or yard recently. See if you can tell what each picture represents - what it really is on camera. I will put the answers at the bottom of the page, so don't peek first.

#1 Well, try to guess, but don't make yourself cry over it.

You've just started, so no tears please, it's supposed to be fun!

#2 Sometimes things 'sit' on it. Usually.

I guess it would be considered 'small' though it doesn't look it here.

#3 I think I could do 'that' on it! I know people do...

Lots of people have done 'that' on it - sometimes every day.

#4 Yes, it does look like that...it isn't flat.

This picture shows that the object is somewhat rounded, and that is correct.

#5 It looks like coal maybe?

This is not hard; it would be rather, described as fitting the definition of soft.

#6 It is often outside, but this one isn't!

There are many different colors and styles of these objects.

#7 Oh, beautiful for spaciousness...tee-hee.

Well, this one was REALLY tricky!  Just couldn't help myself.

#8 Hey! You need to be more specific.

I do mean you need to be specific on this one - it's too easy if you aren't.

#9 This one has to be so-oo easy!

This is an older style design that was popular in the 1970s.  But still around, as you see.

#10 This one is easiest of all. You can't help but know what this is.

Green.  Frog green.  Tender green.  Edible green. (uck)   That's enough greening.
Green. Frog green. Tender green. Edible green. (uck) That's enough greening.

#11 Again, you can tell what it is, but what is it really?

Yes, it is.  But then, what is it's purpose?  Oh, guess that is not a fair question.
Yes, it is. But then, what is it's purpose? Oh, guess that is not a fair question.

#12 Ok, I won't make you be totally specific here, but try.

This is the topmost section.  Would you call it ornate?

#13 You can see this one is alive...? But those aren't stickers!

Stickers, needles, stiff worms?  Huh?

#14 Some people paint on it, but, well no, not here.

It doesn't matter about the angle - it's the same thing whichever way you look.

#15 This starts with the same sound as the one above.

This rather like one above, but considered its opposite.  Not going to tell you which...

#16 Let's have another bright color around! You could sit down...

This looks REALLY bright in this picture.  It is quite usable.

#17 It rather matches one of the above...

It is quite a common object.  They occasionally get in the way...

#18 You just gotta see, open 'em up!

Oh, say can you see, by the light of the moon.  If you look you can.
Oh, say can you see, by the light of the moon. If you look you can.

You are more than half done. Doing well?

Sometimes we see these everyday things around us so often they become an unnoticed, automatic, ignored item in our brains. Until something goes wrong, when they might need repair, get moved elsewhere, or even disappear, and then we realize its absence.

We become so easily adapted to common items, around  that they are just taken for granted, then something has to occur to snap us back to recognization. That often would be a negative moment, requiring our immediate attention to fix the situation.

However,  these pictures of very common objects so close to our daily living are just here for a fun time. You don't need to do anything but look, ponder, guess - and maybe get it right the first guess. Great!

NOW, KEEP GOING.  I'M SURE YOU ARE DOING VERY WELL! 

#19 Yes, it's the edge of something...?

I cheated a bit.  I gave you a great huge hint!

#20 OK, we're outside again for a while.

Looks nice and juicy but it isn't.  It IS green, huh!
Looks nice and juicy but it isn't. It IS green, huh!

#21 Well, it isn't drippy but it's doing something! Not much hinting here.

Loved doing something with this when I was a kid.  And mine do too!

#22 Goldentoad uses one of these!

Probably you might too.  Can you look close and see why?

#23 Previously, some were kin to elephants. But you probably already knew that.

I think I gave away the answer, but just wanted to help out.

#24 Uh, sorta looks uh, funny. Goodness!

Hey, now, bet you didn't guess the first time either!

#25 You can't miss this one, you're looking right at it!

This is right about 33 years old. Think about color fashion...

#26 You got another easier one now.

I'm sure you didn't even have to think to guess right on this one.

#27 This one might not be so easy. Think!

#28 You are almost done. I'll bet you're doing great!

This is...old...and as my young'un says 'groady'.  Isn't that shocking...or hot?

#29 See, this wasn't so hard. But that tiny point at the right top is!

Rain, rain, go away for now, but come back soon.

#30 You can't miss this one. Just in case, there are two views.

On these, you get to ignore the background.

Don't peek at the answers unless you are fully frustrated.

So did you play with honor, and either guess what you thought was right OR give up? If you are ready now, go ahead and look at the answers and see how brave you were to play!

Hope you had a few moments of relaxing fun. Thanks for playing!

Whatever your correct guesses were, you win because you played!
