Look up, look down, look close, look all around. Turn your head this way and that. This is an exercise in seeing outside the box. Extend the scope of your perceptions. This is a fun feature, so wild guesses and humorous responses are encouraged. Verbal and picture clues may be revealed during the week. Next week the answer will be revealed.
What is this strange plant? Any botanists out there care to give it a name? Any gardeners care to give us growing advice? What kind of flowers, or fruit do you expect to see?
Bill got it right. See the new picture. This is the hinge on the back gate to Old Town, providing access to the Los Gatos Creek Trail and the Children's Art Bridge overcrossing to Forbes Mill. Bill, Sheila will be contacting you to arrange a prize. I told you Penelope was psychic. Two weeks ago she guessed that the footbridge at Vasona was in the back of Old Town. That psychic radar needs a little calibration. A couple miles or a couple weeks off, it can only get better. Los Gatos Patch readers are good at this game!
