When you send a photo into SW you never know if it's going to be a good puzzle or not, but I'm glad to see this one was reasonably challenging! Hope you all enjoy it! Had to get it done quickly first thing as we're off to collect a van and go to Felixstowe again to pick up some of MILs cabinets & 'junk' to sell to try and clear the debts. Have a good weekend all MFs!

Yup - very nice building in the sunset, Dave... but where?!?! Candy cane cut made it more challenging. Sorry that Sandra is not doing well. Happy b'day Anacleta for yesterday.

Never did get round to yesterday's in the end! Colourful easy oval for the Day of the Dead. Happy birthday NHRecycler, and my crib sheet says it's also xxiowan's. JillyW you beat me by 4 seconds! Heard from Nigel today - he's going back into hospital on Weds so they can try to sort out the chest infection. It would have to happen when we're still trying to sort out the MILs stuff and have to go to Suffolk this weekend!

Thumbs down for the weather - it's pouring with rain today. Happy bday hokeypokey and slightly belated for MDEW, plus happy anniv mblue & Mike! Off to have lunch with my parents now, but will do the jigsaw later (I hope!) - didn't get to do Friday's until last night!

Only just done Monday's vintage card - it was lovely, so thanks Dana! And thanks to SW for making it a regular puzzle not an oval so that it was a bit more of a challenge. Poor Ginger - hope she *does* start to improve MaryAnn. Got to get dinner ready so I'll leave today's puzzle until later...

It was quite a difficult puzzle but a bit of a boring result. Not got the usual 'wow' factor of many of Svetlana's photos.Went round the house adjusting all the clocks back to GMT as soon as I got out of bed, but I usually find one I've missed a few weeks later! Breakfast time...

Back to the puzzles after a few days away for MILs funeral. Not many people there so massively overcatered buffet afterwards - I brought back bags of food to freeze!! Weather turned wet last night - not good with lots of render off the house due to the rebuild. Luckily it's meant to get warmer and sunny tomorrow & Mon! GG hope your eye improves soon. Today's pic was not as hard as I thought, and I've done the hooky sundial too, but the rest will have to stay undone as I've got chores to do!

Train & sky were easy but the rocks were tricky! Liked the toll house from yesterday too, but agree it was a shame it was an oval. Builders have started on the refurbishment of our house at long last ... just as the weather changes!!!

My first puzzle for a couple of weeks and it was very nice Audrey! I didn't find it too tricky either. MIL funeral is on Thurs - she's left loads of debt so we're trying to find any assets that can be sold. Luckily her husband (#3) owns the house & car so is safe from the credit companies. My hubby & his brother aren't entirely surprised by events - sad state of affairs really. Happier day last Weds when my middle sis finally got married - on the London Eye!

Haven't had time for the puzzles the last few days (back at work - moan groan) Welcome back JillyW - hope you enjoyed your hols!! Happy (belated) birthday to ellie and donna. Sad news for us - my mother-in-law died in the early hours of today, so we'll be off to Felixstowe this weekend to help her husband sort things out a bit. My hubby is the sole executor so there'll be a lot of****** to do!! deedondee - my thoughts are with you for tomorrow...

Very nice rhodie! A taste of next year. The pixellation made it quite tricky - got the leaves dine quite well but had to work on shape for the flowers. Glorious sunny autumn day today so we might go out for a walk and make the most of it - back to work next week so no more chances to loll around at home!!

Lovely colourful mural and an enjoyable puzzle to put together with the crescent connectors. I'm just about to get ready for the annual Fun Run (aka walk in my case!) in aid of Cancer Research. It was raining earlier but it looks dry now - just cloudy -so fingers crossed it isn't a washout later!! Missed saying happy birthday for S4L a few days ago (that's what comes of using the laptop and not having access to my crib sheet!)

Nice and colourful easy oval - thanks! Much more open flowerthan the hibiscus I have, and I can see why it's so named! Nigel's packing to go home today - we've had a very lazy time while he's been staying, and I have the rest of the week off work to get the housework done!!

Loved the shaded sky on that one PJ - a simple but enjoyable puzzle. Very subtle 'special' cut with the little pumpkin connectors - almost didn't notice!! My sister & family had a holiday in Vegas this year so that's another place we'll probably try and get to at some point... the list's getting rather long!

Not as daunting a puzzle as it looked from the pieces. Oh to be young and able to clamber around on that!!

Oh bother - no reviews are showing. Puzzle was quite enjoyable - worked it from the middle outwards after I'd done the edges. Wish I could remember the name of the flower - think I'll have to look it up. It's been a horrid wet day today and very windy, so autumn is definitely here already. Hope JillyW's gone somewhere warm & sunny!

Colourful but rather odd - I can see why you took the photo Kevin!! Wonder if Mike and Adi really look like that?!! After the one day heatwave we had on Tuesday, it's much more of an autumnal temperature today. I never know what to wear at the moment!!

Very nice image Gisele, enjoyed the square cut for a change and it was still quite an easy puzzle - worked from the outside in. That's another place on my 'must visit some day' list. There was a wonderful BBC 3 part series about Yellowstone last year which definitely whetted my appetite for a trip to see it all for real.

Just had to do the blue first - amazing that it's just refracted light, not pigment, so the wings are brown when viewed from a different angle. Thought the leaf veins would make the background easier, but it was still tricky! Happy Father's Day "down under", and happy birthday to MDEW's hubby Joe. We're going to my middle sister's for lunch, so no cooking today!!

Interesting, Dan! Simple puzzle with the graded sky -worked from top down. DB2 - sorry to hear about Leah. I lost Gremlin at 19 last year but it wasn't too bad as I'd been expecting it - and I had Tabs to comfort me. Nice to see you back again Gerty!

Oh good grief - who decided that a picture of oxalis in a meadow would be a good one for a mirror image??!?!?! Over half an hour and I also resorted to matching on shape. At least I'm comfy in bed with the laptop, but my eyes are certainly tired now!! Have got some of that plant in my driveway - impossible to get rid of.

Didn't look that menacing to me! Nice colours and quite an easy puzzle. GG - I haven't got that good a memory, I just have a 'crib sheet' but it's a bit scribbly so I wasn't sure! Had to visit the Dr today with a UTI so on antibiotics and drinking cranberry juice and barley water like it's going out of fashion. Oh the joys of being a woman ;-*

I finally get a chance to do a jigsaw and it turns out to be a tricky one! I've been keeping an eye on the reviews but my SW activities have been confined to the 'quickies' like Hitori, Jumble and Roundup. There just don't seem to be enough hours in the day!! Sorry I missed saying happy birthday GGranny, but happy anniversary for you and hubby (is he Norm?) for tomorrow - 60 years is amazing!! Glad to see you around Weeborg - is the lack of surgery because you're well enough not to need it?

Spectacular shot Judi! It came together faster than I expected - concentrating on the green areas helped a lot. I made a guess as to where it might be and was pleased that I got it right!

Tricky little borage!! I kept thinking of Pimms all the way through that puzzle, but I don't have any of the ingredients apart from a bit of Pimms itself, ice and an apple, so I'll stick with a cup of tea!! No good without the lemonade & other fruit (and an optional bit of borage on the top to pretty it up)

I was about to say 'quartet? I can only see 3' and then I noticed the top of the head at the bottom of the pic! Thought it was going to be a bit of a dull puzzle, but I got all the reddish tummies & heads done, the the blueish fur and then the rest fell into place very nicely. Warm & sunny again today, so the washing's drying very quickly (chores on Sunday?! that's the trouble with being out on Sat!!) Might get a bit more weeding done in the shady bits too. Enjoy your Sunday one and all.

Lovely ceiling Kate and Kurt but where in Italy?!? Reasonably tricky but not too bad for a mirror image as the borders of the paintings helped considerably. After 2 very wet days it got all sunny again this afternoon so the BBQ we're going to tomorrow won't be a washout after all! Happy bday Jerry and best wishes to all who need them.

That's about the only way most people will ever see a jaguar - in a zoo. They're very elusive in the wild. At least IOW Zoo seems to be trying to be educational. Good puzzle - definitely easiest starting with the green and red areas and leaving the big cat until last!

Good puzzle for a sunny Sunday afternoon.

My comment doesn't make much sense because the first review never appeared! It's there on my profile - very odd. I just said that I hadn't had time to do the puzzles while Nigel was staying (hence my absence) and that I took the picture last year when I was convalescing.

Have just been catching up on some of the puzzles - didn't really have time for them while Nigel was staying with us. Nice to know I was missed! Hubby went off to NCL again today, so that was a 6am trip to the airport - means I've got 2 loads of washing done before even settling at the PC!! It's just gone 8am and today's puzzle is up... so I'm going to get a coffee and do this one on hard, as it's my pic from last year when I was 'convalescing'

Very easy puzzle - got the sky out of the way then worked inwards! Good shot Cindi - did your neck hurt from looking up? Brings back fond memories of a Seattle holiday quite a few years ago. Rain's holding off here in S. Bucks so the washing's out on the line and drying nicely in the wind & sun.

And now a word from our sponsor... Bright colours and a fun picture (yup, Seurat is spinning!) and the pointillism made it trickier than it looked. Rain and thunder and wind again today and quite a bit cooler - never sure what to wear when I get up in the morning. Not helped by the office aircon being on some days and not others!!

With all the colour and texture I naievely thought it would be quite an easy puzzle - wrong!

Easy oval over all too soon. Rained a bit today - hooray. Jackdaws are making a racket in the garden as the food's all gone.

For once I'm glad of the easy oval! Just catching up on 4 days' puzzles as we've been away with all the family in Devon to celebrate my sister's half century. There was wi-fi at the rented house but I couldn't connect so have had withdrawal symptoms! Fri's sculpture was quite tricky, loved the Mosta dome, anthuriums were moderately difficult (don't they always look artificial?!) and bamboo was simple but striking. Congrats Emale!

Sort of guessed it was going to be another C&H pic. Not too difficult to do - wonder if they told it to 'shoo' (sorry!) My car is being serviced so I've got another walk back to pick it up later (and gulp at the repair bill!) which should be more pleasant than when I dropped it off at the garage early this morning - it was freezing fog then, but the sun's out now.

Happy Year of the Ox! Nice and colourful and quite a tricky easy oval (shame it was a professional pic again though). Tabs is on antibiotics again, but that's all - phew!! It's the time of year for neutered males with cystitis - the vet's seen lots recently.

Interesting buildings, but would love to have known more - India's a big place!! Not feeling too happy myself today - Tabs is showing signs of urinary problems again, so I'll have to go to the vet with him tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed it's just an infection...

Iconic London landmark that has been photographed a lot, but yours was a good crisp picture Michele. Like the way the clouds lined up with the top deck! My parents went on an organised tour to the bridge and found it fascinating, though it wasn't raised while they were there.

Lovely picture Jack & I thought that sign was especially pretty. Reasonably tricky pixellation in parts - a good end to the week. Here's hoping all that are unwell improve soon and the pain lessens for those with sore hearts.

Well, whoever you are and whatever the cat is called, it certainly was beautiful! Started with those eyes and the nose, then the rest was simply following the direction of the fur. Tabs is asleep on my lap - he's not interested that it's a kitty picture this time!

Lovely coleus Ann. Tend to have them as houseplants here rather than outside. They do come in a marvellous range of colour and texture. Magde the mistake of not leaving the heating on last night and it was really frosty, so now the house will take half a day to warm up again!

Managed to avoid seeing the thumbnail so this was an interesting challenge. Nice lot of information Donna. Cold & foggy today. Just cleaned up a load of feather as Tabs went & caught a great t it, but I couldn't really tell him off. Time to trim his claws though!!

I too found the bottom half much easier than the sky. Intriguing scenery - thought it might be termite mounds from the thumbnail! Thanks for the antipodean image Bev. Wendy, my thoughts and condolences are with you and Lisa on your loss.

Blimey, Stacey - that was a bit tricky today! Did all the 'holes' first then joined them up, found the main veins and then matched the rest on shape (and a bit of colour). My tea went rather cold (yuck!)

That's somewhere on my 'must visit' list. Good photo Janine - and a slightly trickier puzzle than I thought it would be. We're still in the middle of a cold snap - around freezing all day - which is unusual round here. I hate to think what the gas bill's going to be like!

Mount Everest - as seen by Disney, I reckon! I thought the mountain looked rather pink, which is nicely explained by it being small and totally artificial!! Simple enough layered picture Tara. I wouldn't mind being somewhere warm right now as there was a rather hard frost again last night and this room is only 54F!!

Managed to avoid the thumbnail preview so had no idea what this was going to be! Matched on colour, texture and shape then started singing 'Three coins in a fountain' halfway through - and was surprised that it had been an appropriate choice! Good image Linzi - made a reasonably challenging puzzle. Very frosty start again today, but at least it's dry for my cousin travelling home to Nottingham.

Not the best picture to choose for a mirror image as the two sides were rather similar, so like MtMama I used shapes rather than colours. Well and truly challenging! Lovely scene Katie.

Loved the little star connectors on that puzzle. I've never managed to get a decent photo of fireworks, so I'm not surprised SW used a pro picture! Even frostier last night and won't get any warmer today, so we'll have a chilly journey over to my parents' house this evening. Happy New Year to all mf's in puzzle land!!

Nice enough mountain pic - very blue and white - but I could have done with warmer colours today as there was a hard frost last night and it's a tad cool in our study! Got Tabs on my lap keeping me a bit warmer though. Time for coffee - have a good day all!

Recognised it from the thumbnail - it's quite distinctive! Fairly easy puzzle, but a good photo - thanks Judy.

Another professional pic - but I suppose people don't necessarily send in ones to match the occasions SW want to highlight. Happy Kwanzaa to those that celebrate it. Sorry I was a grump yesterday - didn't realise that blue & silver had significance for Chanukah. Never too old to learn! We had a riotous family Xmas lunch at my middle sister's, and it probably won't be much quieter today at the youngest's! Hope all can enjoy a Boxing Day with loved ones around them.

Sideway thumb again - seasonal picture but a) professional and b)rather dull colours. It was reasonably tricky to do but not that enjoyable. Bah humbug! The turkey's in the oven and we're going to unwrap our presents soon... Happy Christmas to all that celebrate it in any form!!

Tricky puzzle, but not what I'd call seasonal for the north! Am feeling not that well at the mo, so hope I improve for tomorrow or I'll be cooking a turkey but not eating any of it!

Lovely red baubles - very seasonal. Didn't realise how big they were going to be from the thumbnail! Would have been nice to know where the picture was taken though Suzanne. My cousin is now here to stay until the new year, so he'll have a nice family Christmas which will hopefully alleviate feelings of loss.

I did the tinsel and angels and then was suddenly aware of a pair of eyes! Inky looks quite comfy nestled in the tree! I have just decorated the second (artificial) tree having wrapped all the presents after a successful shopping trip today (the shops weren't that busy, so things are looking dire for the retail sector), so I might even be ready for Xmas a few days ahead this year! Mimi - get well soon; Gramary - nice to 'see' you; speedway - welcome back!!

What a lovely picture Shelley! I can see why you took that photo. It made a fairly easy sepia colour changer.

We *so* need a sideways thumb! It looked very daunting to start with, but did the light bit and the red bit and the green bit and the trunk and then the rest just fitted in by shape mostly. Didn't notice the ice until the caption came up. Bit short on info even if it was factual. It's been raining all night and it's very windy too so the birds are swinging around trying to eat the peanuts! I'll have to venture out on a refill mission soon though...

Very blue and white. Good to have an explanation of what & where it was, but shame it was a professional picture again. Guess it's difficult for Shockwave to do otherwise if they want to mark a particular occasion and there's no user-submitted photo to fit. Went out for lunch with all the family and a bunch of friends - we've had a busy weekend!! Work time comes around all too soon.

Pretty challenging with all that dried grass background. I was playing 'guess the antelope species' as I was putting it together and was glad I guessed right! It's the face that gives them away. Congrats to Cinda and Holger for 2 pics in one week! We were back in town again today for a trip on the London Eye with some of the family, followed by sushi lunch - clear sunny skies (if rather cold) made for a very enjoyable day, but it's back to the chores now!
