Good one Beverly!

What I noticed about the photo was that the faucet is the focus of the photo while the actual countertop is all out of focus. I didn't notice the water. Good idea. I was reminded several times that the clue says "It's all about countertops" But the faucet can be considered a part of the countertop... I'm glad to see I am not the only one thinking along this line!

I'll be glad when this torture is over and the location AND the meaning of each clue is revealed. Everyone has their own ideas about what the clues mean and many of them point to many different locales. But that is the fun in all this!

Your idea has a lot of merit, too. Else, why would Mary have changed the photo for Clue 9? But again as we have been saying...noone knows yet (but Mary) what the actual clues mean or if they are just put in to throw us off track.

The lake or Tom Sellick? Either sounds great!

That made me think that she could mean it's all about what's ON the countertop instead of the countertop itself. Just a wild guess, but then I guess that's what this is all about. LOL With these crazy clues, who knows what is a true clue and what is a red herring.

That would surely be a 180 turn from New Mexico.

Maybe it isn't about the faucets: perhaps its the sinks, the water, or maybe the 'washing' that goes on there. I need to get off here and do something constructive, but my mind is abuzz with trying to figure out these clues. You should warn people that this blog is addictive!!! Arrrggghhhh!!! Fri, 14 May 2010 17:00:18 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/05/13/hgtv-dream-home-2011-location-clue-eleven/#IDComment75439444 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/05/13/hgtv-dream-home-2011-location-clue-eleven/#IDComment75438007 Konasand mentioned the photo change on Clue 9. When I went to look at the new photo, the first thing that caught my eye is that the focus of the picture is not the countertop, but the faucet. The countertop is out of focus. And sneaky Mary asks us "Do you see a connection?" That has me thinking that it's not about the granite. Faucet, water???? Any thoughts??

Maybe someone has already mentioned this but could it be that the state referred to in Clue # 11 is the 11th state: New York?

Too much of everything to be a Dream Home location for me. IMHO, a dream home would be spacious, have a huge yard, few neighbors who I cannot see from the housem and lots of trees! ____Oh wait, that's where I live now.

We don't have the sort of coastline shown in that photo. And the cactus shown also does not occur in Texas. So sorry!

LOL Sat, 1 May 2010 00:14:31 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/04/30/hgtv-dream-home-2011-location-clue-eight/#IDComment71574901 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2010/04/28/hgtv-dream-home-location-clue-seven/#IDComment71381699 Well at first glance, I was convinced the flower was an azalea. But I now completely agree with C&E that it is a red clover flower. The link C&E posted has the exact photo that Mary used. However, I am also in agreement with several others that one can make the clues fit just about anywhere. I suspect that Mary never imagined that anyone would ever find the exact flower picture, thus her command to reach 2000 posts. This is my first time to join in the clues and it has been fun guessing and reading all the posts. But I am now weary and the thought of wading through a thousand more posts is very disheartening! Please, Mary, I beg of you! Another Clue!!

How in the world did you find the exact same picture? I kept thinking "No way is it red clover" because our red clover here in Texas is actually crimson red. Good work!

That area is rolling hills and lush forests, not a desert within a 2 day drive! So the cactus photo was not related to Tyler. That has to be somewhere in the Sonoran Desert for those cacti to grow.
