"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."
- Stephen Sondheim

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!

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.
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.

Der Eisvogel (Alcedo atthis) ist die einzige in Mitteleuropa vorkommende Art aus der Familie der Eisvögel (Alcedinidae).Eisvögel haben eine Körperlänge von etwa 16 bis 18 cm und wiegen 35 bis 40 g. Die Flügelspannweite beträgt etwa 25 cm.
Der Eisvogel ernährt sich von Fischen, Wasserinsekten und deren Larven, Kleinkrebsen und Kaulquappen. Er kann Fische bis neun Zentimeter Länge mit einer maximalen Rückenhöhe von zwei Zentimeter verschlingen.
The common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), also known as the Eurasian kingfisher and river kingfisher, is a small kingfisher with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and North Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but migrates from areas where rivers freeze in winter.
This sparrow-sized bird has the typical short-tailed, large-headed kingfisher profile; it has blue upperparts, orange underparts and a long bill. It feeds mainly on fish, caught by diving, and has special visual adaptations to enable it to see prey under water. The glossy white eggs are laid in a nest at the end of a burrow in a riverbank. It is about 16 centimetres (6.3 in) long with a wingspan of 25 cm (9.8 in),[7] and weighs 34–46 grams (1.2–1.6 oz)

Didn't want to 'leave' this one on the table before autumn passes by.
There is always one piece that seems to be missing when you do a jigsaw puzzle … but so often it can be found just under your eyes!

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
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..............
"Vorrei due ali d'aliante
Per volare sempre più distante
Un giradischi rotto
Che funzioni però
Quando sono giù un po'
Non voglio mica la luna
Chiedo soltanto un momento
Per riscaldarmi la pelle
Guardare le stelle
Chiedo soltanto di stare
Stare in disparte a sognare....
e sognare di te *...."
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.
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)

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! 🤔 😕
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.
Organised by the City of Sydney Library. Attendees had to choose a card from the catalogue and answer the question on the rear of the card by writing or drawing on a blank puzzle piece and then add their piece to the puzzle.

Puzzle face up got damaged recently and couldnt use her as model... But finally today managed to finish her again.
Wanted her to look the same.... but ended even prettier :3
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.
