Solving puzzles is a hobby, addiction or compulsiveness? This is not as easy as it seems the maze pass is just barely big enough for the BB to fall through and really easy to come back out LOL. It is a close up, the puzzle is right at 3 inch across. I thought it was too big so quartered the puzzle to a 1-1/2 inch square frame to make it macro.
Problems to be solved. Entering the creative space where problems swirl and answers form.

As I walked the short, beautiful trail along the Sturgeon River to Canyon Falls, I came across this gentleman. Like most of us photographers, he is coming to a decision on how he wants to capture the scene . . . usually quite differently than someone capturing a 'selfie' . . .
"You did the right thing, yeah
When you went and looked my way
I know, I know what you wanna say
You wrote it all on your face
(On, on, your)
Just beam me up, beam me up, leave me, don't bring me down
You've been fighting from the gallows
The shadows just come on out
(But you know)
It's all good when it's all bad
Be hurting all day but it's all math
You're losing your brain
And falling right back
It's all good when it's all bad
Been looking all day but it's all math
Just solve the equation
Get it all back." - QUIÑ ♫

Timmy’s biggest problem right now is getting enough cuddles. With this heat, I hardly ever see him except at 7:30 a.m. for breakfast and at 9:30 p.m. for dinner. If I’m lucky, like now, he hears me when I go out to the garden in the early evening. He comes out, still half-asleep, and climbs up his ladder. I have to go down two steps on the little staircase to the garden. Then our heads are at the same height, and we can relax and cuddle to our hearts’ content.

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them.
Albert Einstein
The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem, it is generally employed only by small children and large nations.
David Freedman
War is never a lasting solution for any problem.
Benjamin Disraeli
Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it.
Niels Bohr
The basic problems facing the world today are not susceptible to a military solution.
John F. Kennedy
When money is seen as a solution for every problem, money itself becomes the problem.
Richard Needham
With heartfelt thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty around you, enjoy the process of creating, and stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️

World's first steam powered clock
The insides of this clock is where the magic begins....
Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 to solve the issue of a steam vent in a popular sidewalk for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Owned by the City of Vancouver, BC Canada
In memory of Raymond Saunders who sadly passed away - November 24, 2024
www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/gastown-steam-clo...
The steam clock's plaque reads:
THE GASTOWN STEAM CLOCK
Designed and built by
Raymond L. Saunders
Horologist
The world's first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity driven "falling ball" drive was 'engineered' by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributor's Limited. The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weighs over two tons.
A few years ago the clock was refit and is not entirely steam powered. It also has three small electric motors to help operate two internal fans, one of which blows the steam out the top, and another that controls the valves that play the tunes on the five steam whistles mounted atop the clock case.
The large central whistle, which was taken off the CPR steam tug Naramata, counts off the full hours while the four auxiliary whistles chime the Westminster Quarters every quarter hour. The number of chimes matches the number of quarter hours that have passed.
Gastown is the original settlement that became the core of the creation of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Currently, it is a national historic site and a neighbourhood in the northwest end of Downtown Eastside, adjacent to Downtown Vancouver.

“As if everybody here would know
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes”
I, for one, never could figure out what Paul Simon was talking about. Maybe it was snowflakes on the soles of her shoes? :-)

Sod the photo, I've finally found a way to solve my problem of wonky images with sloping horizons and waterlines... shoot everything from a moving boat!
This image of presumable someone's home or holiday home (most jealous) is as taken - dead centre, dead level (oh alright... I've cropped it a little but it's still central and level). Captured on the way back from Riva del Garda via Limone to Malcesine, this house is just north of Limone.
Wisconsin Northern L2 spots tanks and plastic hoppers next to the faded C&NW station sign in Bloomer, Wisconsin with an ex-Reserve Mining SD38-2 for power.
Here I used stroboscopic (multi) flash mode while spinning the Rubik's cube to emphasise the process of solving it.
After a very long wait, this shrub which I believe is a form of Ixora has finally flowered. Unlike more common Ixoras, of which we have got quite a few, the flowers on this one, at least at this point remain almost spear like. Frustratingly, I can't find the little card that came with it for a positive ID. Anyone with far superior knowledge to mine would be welcome to clear up the mystery. BTW, this is a current shot!
UPDATE: Thanks to Dave and Margaret who have identified this plant and flower as a Chinese Ixora called "Flame of the Woods". A couple of days after I took this photo, those little spears are blossoming forth with more normal tiny Ixora flowers.
Happy weekend everyone.
