Immortality
by Lindsay Laurie
Mortal are us human kind
seeking peace with baited breath.
Immortality imparts the mind
to believe there is no death.
Immortality is really history …
writings from the then times wealth.
Replayed in a similar mode
as history repeats itself.
Each tiny fraction of the puzzle,
is ancient generations text,
leads the way to consider
what right now is needed next …
Each year reaches new horizons,
the past has been addressed -
and we live our life believing,
our time is the very best.
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."
- 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.

At Dunvegan Gardens, on the Isle of Skye, lives a stately Araucaria araucana, commonly known as monkey puzzle tree. This is a detail of its branches with delicate strands of lichen.
Araucaria araucana is an evergreen tree native to central and southern Chile and western Argentina. It is the national tree of Chile. Because of the prevalence of similar species in ancient prehistory, it is sometimes called a living fossil. It might be worth a trip to Reserva Nasampulli, Chile, to view these amazing trees in their natural habitat.
While researching these amazing trees, I learned that a 175 year old tree was just toppled by Storm Ellen in Cork, Ireland. So this image is dedicated to the memory of the Mahon Monkey Puzzle Tree in hopes that wood from the tree can be used to create a sculpture to be kept locally.
Take care and stay safe. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your support -- I deeply appreciate it.

Each year on January 29th, National Puzzle Day recognizes how exercising our brains with puzzles is just one of its many benefits.
Whether it’s a crossword, jigsaw, trivia, word searches, brain teasers or Sudoku, puzzles put our minds to work. Studies have found that when we work on a jigsaw puzzle, we use both sides of the brain. And spending time daily working on puzzles improves memory, cognitive function, and problem-solving skills.
The one I'm working on now. I thought last winter that one was bad this is hard too. But it gives me something to do. Little by little I hope to finish it. Not a quitter! People should not buy others difficult puzzles!!!! But I think will rewrap this next Christmas and give it back to my friend. He He.
Sometimes it is quite a puzzle what you have to do and also what you shouldn't do!

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..............
Looking splendid in Large Logo and ploughs and beneath the beautiful Monkey Puzzle tree 47593 runs through Torquay station from Goodrington Sands to Bristol Barton Hill.
The purpose of the rare visit to the Paignton branch was for route learning purposes.
A very welcome sight indeed.
Seen in Lighthouse Park on Roosevelt Island in Manhattan, this is actually part of a larger public sculptural installation by American artist Amanda Matthews. It pays tribute to nineteenth-century journalist Nellie Bly.
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.

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! 🤔 😕
the macromonday theme for tomorrow is items that start with the letter P. oscar ocarina has a patchwork puzzle shell ~grin~
the autobot tagger has decided that oscar is food. i suppose that somewhere turtle soup is considered a delicacy but it would be hard on the teeth as oscar is ceramic
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.
