Wooden puzzles bring you back to pre-social media world.. or pre-history... they are just so beautiful...
"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!
Even the hardest puzzles have solutions.
"If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything" - George McFly.
Sometimes it is quite a puzzle what you have to do and also what you shouldn't do!
Sign inside a trainstation.
It is a puzzle, for Macro Mondays theme 'Puzzle'.
Phew, exactly 3 inch's square.
Made up of 4, inch and a half plastic cubes.
'Footsie', match all the pairs of feet on every cube face.
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)

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 call this "puzzle grass" because that's what I called it when I was a little kid. I'd take these apart by their segments, mix them up, and then reassemble them. It's a fun game for a four-year-old. :)
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! 🤔 😕
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!

The theme for this week (on March 13) is "PUZZLES".
Please don't forget to tag your image with "Looking close... on Friday!" and "puzzles".
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.
