Melli's ABC Challenge: Letters Q and R


This is week nine of Melli's Wednesday ABC Challenge. She wants us to find the alphabet revealed either in nature...or elsewhere...but found naturally--unassisted by us. Todays letters are Q and R.





Q as found in the rubber sealing ring of this reproduction clamped glass lid Ball jar. This particular jar was produced in 1976 for the Bicentennial Celebration.





R as found in a community waterpipe.

    Great Q and R. I think you all are saying the Q was hard but you all are so good at this that they sprout up all over. Excellent

    AWESOME! You really had to do some diggin' for that Q! Well... I don't know that I would have SEEN it while it was still on the jar... so I'm very impressed! And that pipe must have been set there 50 years ago - just for you! What a great "r"!

    What a perfect Q! I'm so impressed by all the Qs I am seeing today, when I felt sure this would be the hardest letter. And that's a great r, too.

    This is a very interesting meme. It makes you think and you did a great job. I will have to try it some time..

    Great Q - I have a million of those around and never thought of them.

    Yup, sliding down the alphabet now!

    I am never any good at this kind of meme, but I do enjoy seeing what others come up with. Great finds Carletta.

    Somehow that "Q" seems meancing?
    Of course I haven't been doing this, is there a reward for the finishers? Like in the Amazing Race reality show?

    Happy RT, I hope your St. Patrick's Day was happy too. It ought to be with your Irish heritage. I am about ninth from last in signing up this week.

    I do like your leprechaun very much. I had one to put on but it was on my other computer but I was already running late so I decided to skip it. Thanks for sharing your very nice find.

    That's something ! Congratulations !
    I tried this week to find a Q just for fun, but saw nothing and Arthur doesn't make Qs with his tail. Only Cs.
