105 (now 106) GEC Giveaway - A Counting Game - WINNER ANNOUNCED!

EPIC GAW, amusing, challenging and sometimes inducing despair :D:thumbsup:

Got a pic I was going to post, just a minute or more...

Yes, back. Got FED UP with trying to count the armour scales on the elephant's saddle:eek: my eyesight is failing so it became tiresome, a drink or two didn't really enhance matters either :D Likewise another shot I ditched that had just too many, how many??? Wild Strawberry leaves, or was it the veins in them;)

Here's an 86 that I prepared as "insurance", in case I missed getting my almost-identical 85 posted in time:

Thanks for creating this fun and addictive GAW, Barrett! :thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup: I have to admit that I have not been keeping up with my usual threads on The Porch due to your GAW (and family visiting, packing and traveling for vacation, and doing "vacation stuff"). Thanks to all the participants for their creative and entertaining contributions! ;):thumbsup::thumbsup:

Here are 2 that I planned on entering that got passed by very quickly before I had a chance.

8 acorn caps with a Tuna Valley lightning wood knife. and 17 eggs gathered from our chicken coop, with a Tuna Valley sweybelly.

Also, thanks again for the opportunity Barrett. This was fun.

I also feel that, were I speaking as Pedantic Adjudicator;):rolleyes::D, there are quantities of thistledown in there too! I'm seeking a verified re-count;).

But, maybe we should follow Stalin's paraphrase-likely a myth- about not WHO votes but WHO counts the votes:D Something for your forthcoming election....?:eek:;)

Hey, no politics! ;)
I don't know about recounting, Will. It's pretty hot in those fields. A high of only 93 expected today, 96 tomorrow. Fahrenheit. (Okay, I didn't really count them. :p )
