"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!

I turned a picture of Herbie into a puzzle :)

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.
Taken for Macro Mondays topic "puzzle." I had to borrow a puzzle from a friend as we have none in our house.
once again, this is a very new style for me.
inspired by lara jade, and kind of rankin too i guess.
i was buying these buttons with my mum today and the woman had a bit of a puzzled look on her face, cause i was going "and i'd like 3 of these, and 2 of those and only one of those" so my mum said they were for my face and completely embarressed me.
also, i think i've completely freaked my brother's girlfriend out!! she was in the house whilst I was walking around with a button face.
fun times :)
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'm not convinced that Night Heron is the most appropriate name for this bird as all the ones I have seen have been active in the daytime!
It was the only wet day during a week in Hungary's bird-rich Hortbagy National Park when I encountered this heron - just 3 metres away behind a glass-fronted bird hide. I was ferreting about in the bushes outside the lakeside hide (looking for caterpillars!) when I saw this heron parachute in. I had a feeling it had landed on or near the reeds in front of the hide, so I entered as silently as I could and my camera was already mounted on a tripod ready for action. As I clicked away, I knew the bird could hear the noise of the camera - but was puzzled because he couldn't see me behind the one-way view glass. It's a shame it was raining and the light was poor, but it was an unforgettable moment to be so close to such a special bird.
Thanks for taking the time to view and comment on my photographs – it is greatly appreciated and encouraging!

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! 🤔 😕
Seen at Kent wildlife reserve at Sevenoaks Kent, this black headed gull, seemed to be puzzled by its own reflection..!!
Any comments are appreciated, am having a new kitchen fitted, so lifes a bit chaotic at the moment....Hope you all have a great weekend my dear friends..................Tom.
The Temple of Wadi el-Sebua. Lake Nasser, Egypt
Wadi el-Sebua Temple was built by Ramesses II in Nubia on the west bank of the Nile. The temple was dedicated to the worship of god Ra- Hor-Akhty, Amon, and Ramsis II as a deified person. It is built out of stones except the sanctuary and the inner vestibules which are carved into the bed rock. The temple consists of a sphinx avenue, an entrance, 3 pylons, 3 courtyards, a hypostyle hall and inner sanctuary. The walls of the temple are decorated with many religion scenes and important relief.
During the Christian Era many parts of it have been converted in to a church. The temple was moved in 1964 as the waters were rising in Lake Nasser after the High Dam was built.

Medical update - I have two very rear forms of cancer according to my family doctor and that the neurosurgeon should call in a day or two. He said at the least I will be talked about throughout the medical community. The facts about both are above the knowledge of my family doctor so I will wait and see. I will probably be referred to the cancer center immediately and more treatment will be done on me.
The lump removed from my chest is a real puzzle.....he said. The two cancers are not related to each other which is great.
A lovely day, so I got my next puzzle out into the garden. Also Graham has sawn off a load of excess board for me which makes life a lot easier.
This isn't one I would have chosen, but our friend didn't have many left when I collected it.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
C'est inspiré par une autre photo que j'ai vu sur google mais je sais pas c'est de quel artiste. Oh et je sais qu'il y a quelque chose d'étrange dans les airs à droite mais j'ai décider de pas l'enlever. Je trouvais que ça fitais avec le concept.
It is inspired by a photo a saw on google but i don't know the name of the artist.
Oh and i know there is something strange in the sky at right, but i did'nt deleted it because it think it fits well with the concept.

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.

And you thought when you put them back in their box they just laid there? lol.
You didn't know they come out to play and that's why all the pieces get muddled up?

Thanks everyone for your views, comments and faves, really very much appreciated, and I am so glad you liked my idea! :-)
I showed a jigsaw by American cutter Brookie Biglands of BCB Puzzles back in Spring 2021 for the theme 'A Splash of Colour'. It used a 'metallic paper' which gave a subtle sparkle and I've been thinking about getting another one. Back then I put a collage together of the favourites that Brookie was offering, but only four of these are currently listed (in bold below). Penbleth has the one top centre-left and said the armchair and woman were very difficult. Most of these images are by the artist Frieseke.
Top Left: Glass mosaic ceiling, Palais de la Musica Catalana, Barcelona.
Lower Left: 'Twofor' Afternoon Tea by Richard Emile Miller & Garden Parasol by Frieseke?
Top Centre-Left: Afternoon - Yellow Room by Frieseke
Lower Centre-Left: Girl in Blue by Frieseke
Top Centre-Right: The Garden Pool by Fieseke
Lower Centre-Right: Lady in Garden by Frieseke.
Top Right: The Garden in its Glory by Childe Hassam
Lower Right: Grey Day on the River by Frieseke.
I thought the metallic paper might add the glitter/shimmer of hot sun to the three on the right, but the interior might be best on standard paper. I can remember one painting that I saw in an exhibition that had amazing glitter, it was Angelo Morbelli's 'Futurist' painting Rice Planting'. I have a print which of course doesn't capture the effect, but perhaps this paper would mimic it?
Smoke Photo Art.
"I wanna make a jigsaw puzzle that's 40,000 pieces. And when you finish it, it says 'go outside.'"
Demetri Martin
This is another example of a germ of an idea that took several twists and turns before reaching the final. I actually hope to do some other variations of this idea, so be on the look out. Like many of my works....all parts except for the space background are made from a single smoke photo (which is pretty much the piece coming out of the top of the sphere). And like alot of my recent work....this took way too much time to get it close to how I envisioned.
Thanks to all of you who comment on my work.
