Just got back from my trip and thought I’d post this before doing anything else!

Here’s last Wednesday’s picture:

And this is what it was cropped from:

rampantbicycle was the first one of many to guess correctly; she said: “That looks like part of a bulb of garlic to me (near the base, you know, where the cloves break off).“

These three cracked me up:

Gina “It’s either garlic or a scary onion. “
Looloo “blaaaaaaagh its a partial pic of a moth body and his crusty wing.
Rusv “When I first saw it, I thought, Oh, I didn’t know Boston had a snow storm! It looked like lots of snow over a wood pile with some barbed wire in the background…After reading the other comments, though, I can definitely see that it is most likely a bulb of garlic, and I need serious psychological counseling…:)“

So this week…

what is it?
