"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.

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.
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.
Taken for Macro Mondays topic "puzzle." I had to borrow a puzzle from a friend as we have none in our house.
“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
Fachada de la Casa de Ya´far, de triple arcada de herradura soportada por columas. Conjunto arqueologico Medina Azahara (Madinat al-Zahra). Cordoba. España.
Fachada con premio European Union Prize for cultural Heritage 2004 "Por la espléndida recuperación de un ejemplo único de la arquitectura residencial palaciega islámica del Califato de al-Andalus, fundada en una investigación arqueológica detallada, independientemente de cualquier juicio de valor".
Medina Azahara, castellanización del nombre en árabe, مدينة الزهراء Madīnat al-Zahrā' ("la ciudad brillante"), fue una ciudad palatina o áulica que mandó edificar Abderramán III (Abd al-Rahman III, al-Nasir) a unos 8 km en las afueras de Córdoba en dirección oeste, más concretamente, en Sierra Morena.
Los principales motivos de su construcción son de índole político-ideológica: la dignidad de califa exige la fundación de una nueva ciudad, símbolo de su poder, a imitación de otros califatos orientales y sobre todo, para mostrar su superioridad sobre sus grandes enemigos, los fatimíes de Ifriqiya, la zona norte del continente africano. Además de oponentes políticos, lo eran también en lo religioso, ya que los fatimíes, chiíes, eran enemigos de los omeyas, mayoritariamente de la rama islámica suní.
La cultura popular también dice que fue edificada como homenaje a la mujer favorita del califa: Azahara.
El yacimiento arqueológico de Medina Azahara está declarado Bien de interés cultural en la categoría de monumento desde el año 1923.4 El 27 de enero de 2015 «Madínat al-Zahra» fue inscrito en la Lista Indicativa de España del Patrimonio de la Humanidad, en la categoría de bien cultural (nº. ref 5978).
El 12 de enero de 2017 se registró el documento definitivo de la candidatura de la ciudad para formar parte de la Lista de Patrimonio de la Humanidad, siendo declarada oficialmente como Patrimonio de la Humanidad el 1 de julio de 2018. En 2016 recibió 181.653 visitantes, siendo el cuarto espacio cultural más visitado de la ciudad de Córdoba.
La Casa de Yafar recibe su nombre por Ya´far ibn Abd al-Rahmán, designado primer ministro (hayib) en el año 961. Pese a la denominación, no tenemos todavía asegurada con certeza que la residencia de este personaje estuviese aquí, basándonos únicamente en las intuiciones e investigaciones de los especialistas. Su estructura se articula alrededor de tres ámbitos espaciales, organizados en torno a sus correspondientes patios, todos ellos de distinto carácter: uno público, uno íntimo y otro de servicio. El espacio oficial es constituido por una edificación de planta asimilable a la basilical, que cuenta con tres naves longitudinales que comunican entre sí mediante puertas rematadas por arcos de herradura, así como una nave transversal abierta al patio, donde se interrumpe la correspondencia existente entre las naves longitudinales la fachada, con el objeto de adaptar esta última al espacio creado por la construcción de un baño contiguo. La fachada se organiza mediante una triple arcada de herradura soportada por columnas. En cuanto a la decoración del edificio, éste se pavimentó con gruesas losas de mármol blanco, excepto en el patio, donde se emplearon piedras de caliza violácea; además, destaca la decoración de ataurique de la fachada con temática vegetal y geométrica, que también está presente en el vano de comunicación de la nave transversal y la central, que ostenta sendos tableros en los frentes y las jambas del vano.

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..............
A puzzle is a game, problem, or toy that tests a person's ingenuity or knowledge. In a puzzle, the solver is expected to put pieces together (or take them apart) in a logical way, in order to find the solution of the puzzle. There are different genres of puzzles, such as crossword puzzles, word-search puzzles, number puzzles, relational puzzles, and logic puzzles. The academic study of puzzles is called enigmatology.
Puzzles are often created to be a form of entertainment but they can also arise from serious mathematical or logical problems. In such cases, their solution may be a significant contribution to mathematical research.
The Oxford English Dictionary dates the word puzzle (as a verb) to the end of the 16th century. Its earliest use documented in the OED was in a book titled The Voyage of Robert Dudley...to the West Indies, 1594–95, narrated by Capt. Wyatt, by himself, and by Abram Kendall, master (published circa 1595). The word later came to be used as a noun, first as an abstract noun meaning 'the state or condition of being puzzled', and later developing the meaning of 'a perplexing problem'. The OED's earliest clear citation in the sense of 'a toy that tests the player's ingenuity' is from Sir Walter Scott's 1814 novel Waverley, referring to a toy known as a "reel in a bottle".
The etymology of the verb puzzle is described by OED as "unknown"; unproven hypotheses regarding its origin include an Old English verb puslian meaning 'pick out', and a derivation of the verb pose.

I decided to play along with the Macro Monday - puzzle theme today. It's pretty non-original but I really like the narrow focus and composition. I used my 100 mm macro lens and a 36 mm extension tube.
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)
Solving puzzles helps reinforce existing connections between our brain cells. It also increases the generation of new relationships. This, in turn, improves mental speed and thought processes. Jigsaw puzzles are especially good for improving short-term memory.

A jigsaw puzzle is a tiling puzzle that requires the assembly of often oddly shaped interlocking and mosaiced pieces. Each piece usually has a small part of a picture on it; when complete, a jigsaw puzzle produces a complete picture. In some cases, more advanced types have appeared on the market, such as spherical jigsaws and puzzles showing optical illusions.
Working on a jigsaw puzzle can be a distraction from the cold and ice outside. My wife got this 2000 piece puzzle for Christmas and after several weeks it was finally finished.

DONALD: "A nice little puzzle! I liked the house shaped piece where the person it was made for lived, but as Ted says, we'll be putting it back in the box now."
Got word today it will be a couple of weeks till the puzzle storage work space will arrive. I am tired of fixing what the cats have moved around, while they are trying to help put it together. I think it takes longer to put the pieces right each time I do it and I do very little new each day but fix what has been done in the past. Puzzle Fail until the puzzle keeper arrives.. .
