This potter doesn’t need a magic wand to work his magic. He just needs some mud, a spinning wheel, and his hands. Sorry, but Patrick Swayze isn’t here.
The painting in today’s jigsaw puzzle is called “A Proclamação da Independência,” or “Announcement Of Independence.” It was painted in 1844 by Francisco Renato Moreaux, a Brazilian painter, and is about the Independence of Brazil on September 7th, 1822. I chose it for today’s jigsaw puzzle because I had been wanting to use a classical […]
These aren’t Granny Smith’s, I’m afraid. They are, however, good cooking apples. I’ve always wondered about that saying, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” What is the tree is at the top of a hill?
This tiny fellow is hiding in the grass but the photographer got in a one in a million shot. Some owls make good pets, but in any case they are good to have to control the mouse population.
Saturday’s Free Daily Jigsaw Puzzles It’s Saturday, and I have a two for one special today. Instead of one jigsaw puzzle, you get two. The first one is of some dolphins. It’s a pretty picture, and heck, everyone likes dolphins. The second jigsaw puzzle is a surprise puzzle. In fact, it’s a smart surprise. The […]
I’ve almost completely given up drinking sodas, and now mostly drink water and natural fruit juices. Grapefruit juice is one of my favorites, but water is the best. The young lady in today’s jigsaw puzzle has the right idea. What are you drinking?
I’m a little confused by starfish. They don’t look like fish, and I don’t think you can eat them. Not only that, but what kind of bait do you use to catch them? Sand dollars? Anyway, this one decided to pose for our camera for you, so enjoy!
Today’s jigsaw puzzle is from Wikimedia Commons. The attribution is below the puzzles. It is of a beautiful landscape of the Khinalug valley in Azerbaijan. I’ve had several requests for landscapes, and liked this one. I hope you enjoy it too. (Note: Attribution for the photograph in today’s jigsaw puzzle: By Original: Matthew Hadley (nickname […]
Some things I just don’t understand. I was watching an old black and white movie when one man, in reference to a lovely lady, said she was “A real doll!” As opposed to a fake one? I know he wasn’t talking about Barbie, or even G.I. Joe with the Kung Fu grip. I’m sure the […]
I wanted to do a puzzle of a pretty girl, but Betsy asked for an animal puzzle. Betsy is a pretty girl, but since she asked nicely, I picked out a picture of a gorilla. The pun was just a last second inspiration.
It’s the first day of a new year. 2012 promises to be a mystery with so much happening in the world. On the health, sciences and technical fronts, we are in for some amazing discoveries this next year. While we can’t predict the future, we can make plans for ourselves as to how we want […]
No, the puzzles aren’t of twins. Consider them more like fraternal puzzles. You get them at the same time, but they aren’t identical. Since Saturday is New Year’s Eve, the first jigsaw puzzle is the obligatory New Year’s jigsaw puzzle. The second jigsaw puzzle is of some students hard at work. I have to wonder […]
Yay! It’s Friday! Even the girl in today’s jigsaw puzzle is smiling! Seriously, Bob needed some cheering up after his daughter dropped his iPhone down the garbage disposal. Have you ever done something really stupid and wish you hadn’t done it, but you secretly know that it was funny? Me neither. But that’s sort of […]
I’ve seen some interesting artwork made from glass over the years, and this abstract really caught my eye because it looks like it was made from glass. I should warn you in advance – if you do the tough version, you are going be be here a while. Still, it is an amazing piece of […]
Robin wanted a more upbeat jigsaw puzzle with flowers, so I picked out this lovely picture of a carnation. Evaporated milk not included. Seriously, how many of you remember the TV shows that were sponsored by Carnation Evaporated Milk? The old ‘Burns and Allen Show’ was one of my favorite ones. In fact, that is […]
The weather suddenly turned colder, so I decided to go get some wood off the woodpile. Then I remembered, I don’t have a fireplace in my house. There is one in a rental house I own, but that doesn’t do me any good here. Not wanting to waste the trip outside, I decided to turn […]
The Koekelberg Basilica in today’s jigsaw puzzle, otherwise known as the “Basilica of the Sacred Heart” is located in Brussels, Belgium. Brussels is also known for a vegetable who’s sprouts are often eaten by adults and despised by children. OK, that last part was totally made up, but my wife tried to feed me Brussels […]
No matter what your beliefs are, it is still the time of year to share good times with others. I’m finally getting into the spirit of things, and to that, I give you two puzzles for today. The first is of a Christmas ornament, and the second is of a snowman in a sled. I […]
Yes, butterflies are free, unless you buy them. Then they are $50 a dozen. Seriously! You can buy them so you can release them at a wedding or other special occasion. Talk about watching your money fly away! Better to fold dollar bills into origami butterflies and throw them at the members of the wedding […]
I keep getting requests for landscapes, so of course I’m happy to oblige. This one is of some farmland. I’ve been on a few farms, but no, I didn’t grow up on one. I do, however, live in a zoo.
