I had been eying this huge, 3,000-piece, 4 feet by 3 feet, puzzle for a long time.  We decided to tackle it during the typically cool, drizzly days of December, thinking it might take a couple of months.  Well, we finished in exactly four weeks… only to discover that one piece is either lost of missing.  A disappointment, for sure.  But the huge puzzle challenge is definitely out of my system. It’s back to 500 and 1,000 pieces now.

This is our 20th puzzle of the year.

Lots of cool birds (and white space between them!)

Very colorful…

An easy, 500-piece effort:

This one was very interesting with a wide variety of all manner of critters.

Like this one; nice variety of birds.

Our latest “creation” was a challenging but satisfying one.  The reflections in the water were especially difficult. But you gotta love the pink flamingos, zebra and baby elephant.
