Puzzle.

Macro Monday.

Two tiny nails wrapped around one another. You need to get them apart.

"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.

MACRO MONDAYS 'PUZZLE' Theme

Looks easy, leapfrog the tee's to leave just one remaining, gave up years ago!

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

I decided to get back in the Flickr mode by choosing an easy subject.....no puzzling id'd juvie hawk, seasonally plumed shorebird or confusing warbler to research. Here at our feeder the easily recognizable Blue Jays quietly (surprising) sneak in and out of the feeder, grabbing a seed and leaving very quickly. I love to see their unique geometric pattern but never shoot them as I look for that rarity. This one was such a poser I couldn't resist! (Lots of work to do getting trip pics processed and catching up with all your photos since I've been away. I'll see and appreciate them all but leave comments on the recents!)

Little Bear just completed the puzzle and is so happy, putting that last piece in was always the best.

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.

This is a small Rubik’s Cube that fits on a key ring, which I used as my contribution for the Macro Mondays theme of puzzle.. I now have to work it out...HMM

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

Buy a thousand piece puzzle

and do it after ten years and realize that they are 999

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 - 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! 🤔 😕

Who knew puzzle pieces could make such nice bokeh? My friend and I put this puzzle together a couple of weekends ago - we met at my house to bake homemade cinnamon rolls (recipe from The Pioneer Woman) to take home for the holidays. It was a fun way to pass the time while we waited for the dough to rise, and the rolls were delicious!

I'm feeling much better today - thank you flickr friends for all of your well-wishes! I'm hoping to eat a full meal today for the first time in a while :-)

Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

recent piece "impermanence and eternal", created for upcoming solo show at Emerald Tablet gallery in San Francisco (June). The concept for the work in the show is the expression of Life itself. One of exploration, openness and discovery. This piece is simply another piece to that puzzle. The full text on the piece can be read at akirabeard.com/blog

Here is an excerpt... enjoy "look deep into the nature of your mind and perhaps you will see the true nature of reality itself. Look past all the thoughts, emotions, the learned knowledge, the conditioning, the neuroses and perhaps see the emptiness of it all. Open your mind in this way, and so too perhaps will your heart open to all things as well. And in this openness, perhaps experience a harmony thru the interconnectedness of all things in the universe. Though all things being empty, they hang in the black void of the universe like shining jewels… transparent, absorbing and reflecting light from the suns, the moons, and all the stars in the universe. Looking deeply, perhaps realize nothing in this way is truly independent of itself..."

This Tri-colored Heron was a bit puzzled and likely planning just what his next move was going to be!! He/she had caught the tiny snack but just barely!! The wrong toss and the fish makes his escape!! I didn't catch the move, but the fish did not escape!! Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou!

I have turned the comments off but will leave the photo up! I will not be able to comment at this time!! Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day!

Name that film. A controversial and thought provoking film - even today.

Puzzling Scenery.

Skąpane zieleni żółte chmury szatach magiczne celowe,

jasne doliny drzewa skrzydła poświata mrucząc,

Torente de blues orizont decolorare râuri călătorit larg,

cristal transparente ventos circulares córregos brilhantes desconhecidos,

erotische vliegende riet knisperende krekels mist,

γεννήθηκε εκφράζοντας φανάρια σουρεαλισμό Λατινική Έλληνες βοσκούς,

bacche declino amore per rinfrescare cuscini bramano,

мечтали заколдованные ум фантомные ночи теплые впадины изгиб,

aromás tökéletes szagok szép legyőzhetetlen szél,

وئام الزهور تتفتح الإيقاعية الصيف حسي فرحة,

menmen karès jenere fre reflete anbrase,

elkényeztetett eszelős madarak nagy szieszta napfény tör,

bloeiende tomaten dekken engelen zingen tuin cherub's in leven,

quema pasiones ruiseñores fantasías burbujas sueños anhelantes,

безпрецедентен здрач неяснота освобождаващо динамичен недоумение в,

かすめる目を軟化朝露を振る.

Puzzle

A 3D maze puzzle, finally solved.

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.

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
