"Up Close With Val"

I wanted to wish a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to dear Elyzabeth who is a wonderful gal!  Go give her a visit if you can and wish her a very happy birthday!!

I have another picture for "Up Close With Val".  Every time I choose a picture I think it it too easy and I think every one will guess it.  Perhaps it is because I have taken the picture and have played with it and know what it looks like as a whole object.  At any rate, I think this one is easy.  Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but have fun with it anyway!!  If you want to guess what it is, put your guess in the comment section or send me an email (if you don't want others to know your guess).  I will send you an email if you are right and post the first correct guesser in my journal.

Here it is:

                  

Please forgive me if it is taking me awhile to get to your journals the last few days.  I am slow coming to read and slow commenting.  I am having a flare-up of my illnesses and am having some difficult days.  Hopefully the next few days will be better.  I am sure it is the the weather.  Take care and have a good day all!
