I add another part of puzzle…..
Some of you guessed it right, the two photos (see in the comment box) are a detail of an origami work ;-)
Have another guess…what will it be….???
PS: The little clothes pegs helping the paper to remember its shape. The upper and lower part are not finished yet ….
"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!

I turned a picture of Herbie into a puzzle :)

We are big on family game nights and every year Santa gives us a new game for Christmas. We have quite the collection! In addition to our new games Santa also gave us something a little different to do together, a puzzle. Ok, so it is maybe more MY thing, but we shall see. :) So far I got as far as taking it out of the box to shoot my photo for today but I WILL get started on it....eventually. :D
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.
Bruno: Alright, Julia! Let's get this puzzle done.
Julia: Bruno, you're super special but unfortunately I don't view you as a very good puzzle helper.
Bruno: What do you mean? I'm awesome. I know where ever piece goes.
Julia: Alright, then where does this one go?
Bruno: In my mouth. The ones with the sticky-outty pieces are the tastiest.
Julia: Bruno, you're not supposed to eat the pieces. You're supposed to put them together to make a picture.
Bruno: Got it. So where does that one go?
Julia: I don't know yet.
Bruno: Oooh, if you're lost I could put it in my mouth.
Julia: That's not the plan. We're looking for pieces of the same colour to go together for the picture.
Bruno: Um, Julia, I have a couple of problems.
Julia: Personal space and impulse control?
Bruno: Nope and nope. I don't know what the picture looks like and I'm moderately colour blind.
Julia: I'm sorry. I forgot about the colour blind part. But, if you look at the box you can see that it's a picture of a bunch of golden retrievers on a dock.
Bruno: On a dock? Golden retrievers? What a great idea!
Julia: We're not going swimming now. It's just a picture.
Bruno: Got it. I'm picturing myself on a dock after the puzzle is done. Now if you would just back up then I can start eating all of the pieces that we don't know where they go and we can get to the dock faster!

COVID has revealed Julia's inner puzzler. And Bruno does love to put puzzle pieces on his inside. So, we usually keep him far away from the puzzles. But when I say him looking longingly at her and her puzzle I knew what needed to be done for his weekly photo.
And only one puzzle piece was partly mangled and pulled from the back of his throat during the photo session. I thank Karen for her reaction time on that.
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
Walking through cemeteries is a multi-dimensional experience. At times I'm caught up in the energy of the place. Other times I react to how my presence here influences my emotions. And often I have this odd reaction to the geometry of shapes and angles. It's like walking through a life size chess board. Grim looking pawns, rooks, knights and queens in all directions, forever locked in their last move. The stones and monuments cause ever-changing sight lines and negative spaces as I move about. I often crouch down, preferring to shoot through the stones rather than over them. The sense of texture pleases me; I'm not sure why. I also love the sense of crowding and depth created by overlapping stones. Viewing the monuments down at ground level really reinforces the realization of just how much stone has been brought in here. There's also the corridor effect of shooting something in the distance by finding the perfect visual pathway to get there. Inches matter in this process. Even slight variations in movement cause shifts in these alignments. When it works, it looks easy. Like snapping the final piece into a jigsaw puzzle. More often though, it resembles the puzzle when you first lift the box lid and see 1,000 disconnected pieces.
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..............
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 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)
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! 🤔 😕
Confieso, que en otra época, cuando no me faltaba el tiempo y me sobraba la paciencia fui devoradora de puzzles. Hay quien puede pensar que es una pérdida de tiempo, yo creo que quizá así aprendí a fijarme en las cosas pequeñas... ese sutil cambio de tono entre cientos de piezas aparentemente iguales, ese puntito en el extremo superior derecho, esa "suavidad" cuando pones una pieza y que te asegura que ese es su sitio... pequeños detalles, que aunque no lo parezcan, son importantes para construir algo grande. Como en la vida misma.
Para Lío de fotos: A jugar!
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.

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.
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.. .
