In this #WhatsItWednesday, everybody was kung-fu fighting.

@cliffordbeshers Wood shavings?

@crossingthethreshold Nope.

@cliffordbeshers Outer leafs of some plant on the table or whaddayoucallit by the kitchen sink, but I don’t know which.

@odd Corn came to mind. @cliffordbeshers

@odd @cliffordbeshers Yes, a couple of individual corn husk leaves? (Petals?) Not good with corn anatomy, but the outer layers of the part the covers the ear.

@odd Oops, I mean to copy @maique too!

@fgtech 😊

@maique @odd @fgtech Corn husks is the correct answer. These are the inner sheaves that lie between the corn silk and the tough outer green ones. They curl up quickly as they dry.

@cliffordbeshers Yay!! 🌽✌🏼 @odd @fgtech

@cliffordbeshers Beautiful photography, as always. I love the way the wood grain echoes the texture of the husks but has contrasting color. You must have done something to get the lighting perfect.

@maique @fgtech @cliffordbeshers Well done Maique! I wasn’t quite sure about this one, but it seemed you were on to something. Thank you for the competition, Clifford!

@fgtech Ummm..yes, I stuck these guys in a square of sunlight on my dining room table. Took me hours of prep, I swear.

@odd Thanks for playin’!

@cliffordbeshers 😂 Ok, then the hours of prep were in acquiring your knowledge of the camera’s limits and your trained eyes that found better light.

@fgtech That one I’ll cop to.

@cliffordbeshers Corn cob, ummm leaves? The bit you peel off to get at the kernels.

Yup. Husks, inner ones.
