"Puzzles are like songs - A good puzzle can give you all the pleasure of being duped that a mystery story can. It has surface innocence, surprise, the revelation of a concealed meaning, and the catharsis of solution."

For this "Still Life" composition I used natural Geranium branches affected by plant albinism, that I found at one place in my neighborhood. Plants with albinism occur when they don't produce chlorophyll. Emergent albino plant seedings will have a distinct white color without any hint of green pigment.

At Dunvegan Gardens, on the Isle of Skye, lives a stately Araucaria araucana, commonly known as monkey puzzle tree. This is a detail of its branches with delicate strands of lichen.
Araucaria araucana is an evergreen tree native to central and southern Chile and western Argentina. It is the national tree of Chile. Because of the prevalence of similar species in ancient prehistory, it is sometimes called a living fossil. It might be worth a trip to Reserva Nasampulli, Chile, to view these amazing trees in their natural habitat.
While researching these amazing trees, I learned that a 175 year old tree was just toppled by Storm Ellen in Cork, Ireland. So this image is dedicated to the memory of the Mahon Monkey Puzzle Tree in hopes that wood from the tree can be used to create a sculpture to be kept locally.
Take care and stay safe. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your support -- I deeply appreciate it.

Even the hardest puzzles have solutions.
"If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything" - George McFly.
Sometimes it is quite a puzzle what you have to do and also what you shouldn't do!

Little Bear just completed the puzzle and is so happy, putting that last piece in was always the best.
Danbo was horrified to find 299 pieces missing from his junk store 300 piece jigsaw find. He was however delighted to complete his one-piece jigsaw quickly.
I had to go looking around the house to find some puzzles that were well out of sight, found this in my sons room from a good few xmas's back.
HMM everyone.

“You are tired,
(I think)
Of the always puzzle of living and doing;
And so am I.
Come with me, then,
And we’ll leave it far and far away—
(Only you and I, understand!)
You have played,
(I think)
And broke the toys you were fondest of,
And are a little tired now;
Tired of things that break, and—
Just tired.
So am I.
But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight,
And knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart—
Open to me!
For I will show you the places Nobody knows,
And, if you like,
The perfect places of Sleep.
Ah, come with me!
I’ll blow you that wonderful bubble, the moon,
That floats forever and a day;
I’ll sing you the jacinth song
Of the probable stars;
I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream,
Until I find the Only Flower,
Which shall keep (I think) your little heart
While the moon comes out of the sea.”
― E.E. Cummings
Puzzle Pieces ~~ Stephen Speaks
trying to make sense of this puzzle
but feeling like the pieces are scattered all around this room
climbing the fence of my trouble
falling down once again to try and get there soon
oh but could I stand and wait for You
instead of running from this black to find my blue
oh and when will I just listen to the truth
that the pieces of this puzzle just don't fit without You
For the FGR theme
Walking through cemeteries is a multi-dimensional experience. At times I'm caught up in the energy of the place. Other times I react to how my presence here influences my emotions. And often I have this odd reaction to the geometry of shapes and angles. It's like walking through a life size chess board. Grim looking pawns, rooks, knights and queens in all directions, forever locked in their last move. The stones and monuments cause ever-changing sight lines and negative spaces as I move about. I often crouch down, preferring to shoot through the stones rather than over them. The sense of texture pleases me; I'm not sure why. I also love the sense of crowding and depth created by overlapping stones. Viewing the monuments down at ground level really reinforces the realization of just how much stone has been brought in here. There's also the corridor effect of shooting something in the distance by finding the perfect visual pathway to get there. Inches matter in this process. Even slight variations in movement cause shifts in these alignments. When it works, it looks easy. Like snapping the final piece into a jigsaw puzzle. More often though, it resembles the puzzle when you first lift the box lid and see 1,000 disconnected pieces.
I'm thankful I have this puzzle now I'm doing. The governor has closed all restaurants (will be take outs at certain ones) and bars as of 3pm today. I went to the PO this AM and the town is deserted. No schools, Churches and the Library is shut down.
I'm thankful I have Flickr to communicate with others here at my house. I wish everyone to be safe..............

Puzzle Wood is an ancient woodland site within the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England. The wood which grows upon limestone rock contains many weird rock formations, caves and ancient trees. The whole location has a very primal feel. Although pathways were laid down in the 19th century, the wood has been carefully preserved. Trees are allowed to lay where they fall unless across paths. And otherwise the wood is left to its own devices.
It was said that Tolkien who spent a lot of time in the area was inspired by this wood specifically and the whole Forest of Dean region in general in creating his landscapes in Lord Of The Rings. More recently scenes from both Doctor Who and Star Wars were filmed here.

Ribe ist die älteste Stadt Dänemarks. Das gesamte Mittelalter hindurch bis in die frühe Neuzeit war Ribe der wichtigste dänische Hafen an der Nordsee. Heute hat die Stadt ihre einstige Bedeutung verloren, bietet aber dank etlicher erhaltener Bauwerke aus ihrer Glanzzeit immer noch zahlreiche Sehenswürdigkeiten, allen voran den Dom zu Ribe (Wikipedia)
