Wordless Wednesday...what is it?


***Thank you one and all for your excellent guesses. Many of you got very, very close.
This is a photo, taken from a distance and cropped like crazy, of the sun shining through the dry winter branches, of a bunch of small box elder (acer negundo) trees. The shiny, flashy things are leftover seeds, called samaras..they are paired and winged a bit like silver maple seeds. I liked the way the setting sun was shining through them in an otherwise completely gloomy atmosphere one dark day last week. Thanks for taking time to have a go at the puzzle and have a great day.

It's a flow chart of how the Dims forced the "Health Care Reform" and tax us and gouge us legislation up the American peoples arse.

Somewhere I don't have to fight through to get to the treasure.

Oh, I do like AKA Angrywhiteman's answer for a chuckle.

Just because of the total lack of color, I'd bet it is a moonlight shot of some sort shrub.

You got me. I have a feeling I am going to feel stupid when you tell us what it is.

It's a flowing creek sparkling in the sun, seen through tree branches.
Howzzat?
