Jigsaw Puzzles: Mind-Bending and Stress-Ending

There’s nothing like a good jigsaw puzzle to work the mind and kill some time. I remember that my brother used to be able to do the really hard ones – you know, the ones that were all one solid color. Great artist’s paintings, beautiful photographs, wonderful illustrations – they all make great jigsaw puzzles. It’s an analytical exercise that’s good for the brain AND the soul. I would love to make a jigsaw puzzle out of one of my photos. Like the parrot photo above, for instance!

The Dog Days of Late Summer





These are some photos that I took at the Bay Area Pet Fair yesterday in San Rafael. There must have been 300 different dogs there, partying and socializing. I was in doggy heaven!
