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.

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

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.
Didn't want to 'leave' this one on the table before autumn passes by.
There is always one piece that seems to be missing when you do a jigsaw puzzle … but so often it can be found just under your eyes!
Taken for Macro Mondays topic "puzzle." I had to borrow a puzzle from a friend as we have none in our house.
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..............
One thing that has always puzzled me about visiting some of my contacts' streams... is when they write in the description of their photos... "Listening to: Errol Garner's Concert by the Sea" (or some other favourite musician and compilation)? I always wonder whether they mean that they were listening to this music while they were taking the photograph... or while they were processing it (or neither)?
That always gets me thinking whether the type of music that is played while viewing a photograph has any influence over the viewer's perception of the image as art? Can a photograph be more beautiful while I'm listening to a particular song? Should I be listening to the music album as suggested by my contacts while viewing their photo... or can I play one of my own favourite tunes instead?
What song would you think would be most suitable for this image? Something slow and mellow or something upbeat or groovy? I'm not too sure what I'd choose... I didn't listen to anything while shooting or processing this... but I do quite like to listen to Errol Garner's Concert by the Sea. :)

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.

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 is an amazing set of tiles that I designed and was produced by a guy named minifigurearchive. Based on the puzzle game in the IJ game
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.
