My goal on this hike was Gobbler's Knob and maybe the Marine Crash Memorial, but as I humped along it was like turning a page in a book or watching a play unfold. Each bend in the trail brought a new scene, new story, and having it shrouded in fog just added to it. I could have stayed here all day and waited for a show, I hope the guy in the tent did.
Even the hardest puzzles have solutions.

Sometimes it is quite a puzzle what you have to do and also what you shouldn't do!

HANAYAMA - Infinity puzzle. Called Infinity not only because it looks like an infinity symbol when assembled, but because its movement continues endlessly until the pieces are taken apart.
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
Dad loaned Scott and I a puzzle this week; something quiet to pass the time. We haven't started on building it yet but that doesn't stop me from using it for a photo.
After yesterday's minimalistic photo I felt like a photo that filled the frame was in order.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

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..............
The stripes on the dry soil are actually footprints of birds :D / Las rayitas en el suelo seco en realidad son huellas de aves :D
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.
An icy scene in Northern Norway. I was reminded of puzzle pieces while crouching down in the snowbank for this one.
Thanks for looking!

Puzzle - to offer or represent to (someone) a problem difficult to solve or a situation difficult to resolve. For example: Where are my keys? Where is the key to this lock? What does this key fit? I forgot my key, I'm locked out! 🤔 😕
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.. .
Mid cinematic screenshot. Wish I could have got a better angle on this but once out of the cutscene, photo mode removes the light shafts
chet munch is trying to figure out what that "strange thing" on the counter was at the visitor center at the world's tallest thermometer in baker. the WWII and korea vet was so surprised when i told him it was a camera lens. chet, a former barstow resident used to deliver mail to baker. he was on his way to las vegas and stopped in baker during the desert icon's dedication ceremony.
I bought this puzzle in 2012 on our cross country road trip, while we were in either Grand Tetons or Yellowstone. This fall we got one of those roll-up puzzle mats and in January I FINALLY opened the puzzle. We worked on it for a handful of nights over a couple weeks. Feels like it was a cheater puzzle since there is tons of text plus the map aspect, so it was easier to approximate where the pieces would go. Regardless, it was really fun and so satisfying to put it together! Kind of addictive and I stayed up way too late one night because I just kept saying to myself, one more piece! oops, now one more!
This is the puzzle mat that we got, but it really is giant. Way too big for this puzzle. Also, I definitely should have opened it ahead of time to wash and iron it, to get the big fold/wrinkles out.

And finally, it made me wish that we had a kid-safe space/room where we could store it. Instead, each time we had to bring in the card table from the garage and unroll the mat.
