good took me a while to get it
I had to read it twice but I got it. Nice one
I thought it was a hand's shadow...why can't be a hand's shadow? Nice teaser, anyway.
Having just read about the little kittens and their lost mittens to my grandson today, I knew immediately that it had to be a glove. I also lost one this winter, of course when I needed it most. Good job.

Once again, too obvious for me to get. Good one.
All I can say is DH! ... Shoulda had that!!!
why not a statue's hand? path...park...park...statue?? come on...who's with me on that?
I am!!!!!! w/ the guy or gal b4 me! ok it was kinda confusing cuz there were 2 many answers! good one though
Glove was first thing that popped into my head. Must be my lucky day.This is one you either get or you don't.
A glove? a statue? a shadow? the shadow of a statue? the shadow of a glove? the shadow of a gloved statue?
oh..
That was easy. Really easy. I didn't even need to think! And, those who say it might be a skeleton, it said it wasn't bone.
nO one said it was a skeleton. That was a good one, I did NOT get it, can you believe that? I don't think I would've thought of a glove in a million years, well, hopefully maybe in that time I'd get it. But, I just don't think I would've thought of a glove at all! I'm giving up way to fast these days, its not excersizing my mind enough!
Good one, Thanks!
Good one, Thanks!
It couldn't be skeleton because it's not bone. Anyway, i feel stupid bc that was so like, right in front of your face duh kinda thing. Good one, good one...
You got me... I found myself wondering where in nature you could find something called a thumb. How silly that I never thought of a glove or shadow.
Easy. Heard it before.

I feel SOOO stupid! Too easy to miss.
Me too I feel dumb, I missed it too. nice one
Cool! Good job!
too many answers... it could be a lake also...too easy
clever...
Nice one! I liked it!
Good one.
Sooo... yeah... um... My guess was that it was one of those signs in the shape of a hand. The ones they used back in the day, with just the index finger extended to point you in the right direction? I figured that would be something you might come across while walking on a PATH, right? They should bring those back. We need more signs in the shape of a hand...
Oooooooo K
Was totally misled by the reference to 'path'. Couldnt link 'glove' with 'path'!
montoman: how could it be a lake?
If it took you more than 5 seconds to figure the answer, you are still sleeping.
Though I got it right away, I'd have to agree that there are many answers that I had not considered. While some of the suggested answers fit, others do not and I would have to say that a glove was the most obvious.
I was trying to think of a flower shaped like a hand. BTW there are lakes called the "Finger Lakes". Good riddle.
I went with shadow.
I thought it was a hand's shadow
The shadow of my own hand.
Glad I wasn't the only one who went there.
Glad I wasn't the only one who went there.
It beat me.
Along with answers like shadow and statute, could be a drawing or painting.
