One of my artist friends is also an avid photographer. She loves to capture beauty and contrast, and sometimes does series to make political statements.

This is not the case here, as she is celebrating colour. Please visit her gallery to see more of her images.

I loved this image of an old house, sandblasted bricks prepped for new paint, with its spring blossoms. My friend, Marie, of Portland, Maine, took this on one of her bike rides.

Enjoy!

Sorry I’m not churning out anything this weekend. The purple plates site has me in brain freeze mode, and once I open Dreamweaver, my life is over for a while.

Blast this one-track mind.

For you puzzlers, here is the picture of Ass Burger Boy I posted earlier.

It’s a toughie, even on easy mode.

Call me a Grammie’s girl, but I am crazy about my Grammie. She was the person I hurried toward when my own mother died, and she has always been a constant source of love and comfort to me.

She has been in hospital for over a week now, and last Monday, she broke her pelvis. Apparently, the pain meds have made her loopy, and she thought she could walk.

She wasn’t properly restrained, and she got out of bed, only to fall once more. They have taken her to a larger centre for a CAT scan.

She hates that she doesn’t remember things the way she used to, and I can honour that. I wish I was ready to let her go, but I long to be able to see her just one more time. I was hoping it was when I was scheduled to work in that area, but it sure isn’t looking good now, and I really can’t afford the trip right now.

Pneumonia is a real concern for elderly immoblilized patients. Please reach into your hearts and send a prayer of love to Grammie along with me.

Today’s puzzle is an image of Grammie that I call Tricky Ole Bird.

I love you, Grammie. I hope you are in shape to field your mother’s day calls tomorrow.

And Mom? I’m sending my love to you, and know that you feel it.

I have a lot of very talented friends and clients. I have received a fair amount of their work as gifts, and as trades for my own services.

One of my favourites is a red haired bundle of wonder who paints, makes photographic images and thought-provoking series.

I offer to you an image from Maggie Lucas I encourage you to visit her site and feast your eyes and soul with a select few of her images.

I should remind you that clicking “view image” on the puzzle will pause the game for as long as the image is in view mode. That way, you can get a preview of its shape and size, and where you think pieces might fit.

Happy Puzzling!
