Thank you to everybody who submitted answers to the first Subtlevox Stumps the Swarm (SSTS) quiz.
The answer (and we sure got a lot closer when I dropped so many clues around) is?
Hoar Frost on my neighbour's dog chain. Our neighbour has a dog line, made out of red clothesline, that he used to use with his old dog Seamus. I wish I had pictures of that dog... he was beautiful.
[In case all of that sounds like Seamus is off to the great fire-hydrant-land in the sky... he's not. His owner did something that I have a lot of respect for... I'm sure it was hard. He gave up the dog because he new that he was working too long and the dog was alone too much.]
Anyway...
This should make it obvious:
It was shot with my home-made super macro... a jeweller's loupe. You can check out this set of pictures for more samples and a quick tutorial on how to make one for yourself.
The closest to Correct answer provided by:
Pako (2 points out of a possible 5 for saying "hoar frost on a rope". I would have accepted hoar frost on a clothesline but "on a rope" is very close)

Because this first (And don't forget Bonus) Quiz was so hard and because the link love isn't as easy for those who aren't spread all over the internet [that sound gross] like me, I have decided to make each correct answer worth 5 points.
Thank You
Thanks to all who played this round: Karri, Lizzie, Ron, Peche, Hallah, Myrth, Pako, Palais, Echidna, Reflecta, Myrth and Ciaran.
