~A Dream Hand~
Anyone who plays cribbage knows what a dream it is to get a hand like this. Unfortunately this one was contrived for the shot and not dealt to me.

Taken in available light. Did some minor adjustment and added the dreamy effect.

Nice composition. Wouldn't J555+5 be the dream hand? 29 points! LOL

  Thanks for commenting Todd. Sorry but I couldn't remember what the best hand was so I went with this one. Haven't seen the other one often enough (LOL)!!!

  Thanks for commenting Tom. It is a fun but at time highly frustrating game. I've been playing since I was a little kid and I'm still not very good at it (LOL)!!

  Cool shot, Marcie!!! I am glad you said cribbage (which I haven't played before) because I was thinking, 'that's just a pair of fives'!!!!! :)

  Nice shot, Marcie. I am with Tammy, until I read the cribbage part I was thinking - not such a good hand.

  Thanks so much for your comments everyone.

Darren . . . yeah it's pretty much a dream when I win. Although it does happen!!

Debra . . . the cribbage board was actually a gift from my hubby one year as a way to say how much he enjoys spending time with me.

  Nice image, Marcie ... I love cribbage ... my wife and I play nearly every evening at dinner (supper) ... and I don't believe we've ever had that elusive 29 hand ... although I am certainly looking forward to it some day ... LOL
