"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.

This puzzle is most infuriating! There are about 34 holes that your ball can fall through on the way to the finish and you have to start again at 0!
The path of the ball is manipulated by two controls to alter the pitch and angle of the board in your vain attempt to complete the course!
It is not easy!!!
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.
Miniature Rubik's cube....Deconstructed. Alternate for “Puzzle” theme in MM group. I couldn’t solve it so this is revenge of a sort.
Either this truly is an extremely difficult puzzle, as advertised, or my ability is failing me, and I'm not yet ready to concede the latter possibility.

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..............
HFF! This impressive Monkey Puzzle tree is located in the grounds of the James O'Keeffe Institute in Newmarket, Co. Cork. The middle branches are covered in lichen.
From the interweb: "Before the name 'monkey puzzle' caught on, this tree was often called the Chilean pine. However, is not a pine at all, coming from a different family. It is an evergreen conifer, and the indigenous people of Arauco, Chile eat its tasty seeds.
In the wild, monkey puzzles are found in Chile and Argentina, 600 to 1,800 metres above sea level in moist areas rich with volcanic ash. Here they can live to be around 150 years old.
Originally discovered by Spanish explorer Don Francisco Dendariarena in the 1600s, monkey puzzle was for a while the most valuable timber in the southern Andes, used for railway sleepers, pit props, ship masts and paper pulp. Today it is a protected icon of the Global Trees Campaign and these uses have largely ended.
Its toasted seeds are still eaten by people living near monkey puzzle forests and its productivity (once it begins producing seed at around 30 to 40 years old) gives it commercial crop potential. Chile declared the monkey puzzle tree a national monument in 1990.
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.
