The mystery of jigsaw puzzles. I have a group of pieces that I stare at for days, convinced that I still have to find one or two pieces that will bring them all together. Then one day I sit down and, click, click, click, they all come together. No other pieces needed. 🧩🤷🏼♂️

Day 8: Walk, suggested by @lwdupon
A photo of a projected slide from my time in India in 1989. I’m unsure where I took this, but I think that it was in Bihar State.
Your windy morning, double rainbow 🌈
A Kona, westly, storm is battering Maui right now. Sheets of rain being blown by winds I would say gusting into the 40’s mph, at least into the 30’s (he says after consulting multiple weather sources).
Of all the movies that I thought that I would watch again, This Is Where I Leave You was not one of them.
Looking for something easy going, we chose this movie, thinking that maybe it looked familiar? Indeed it was. Early on it was apparent that this was not a first viewing, but we still watched it through to the end.
It served its purpose. Easy to watch at the end of a tiring day, a simple if predictable story, and funny. 🍿

Day : Whole, suggested by @val
I’m always grateful for the whole bean coffee that I buy from Sterling Coffee Roasters in Portland. I’ve made sure to write to them to let them know. Here is their always available, general blend - Blendo Stupendo.
I find that it is easy to take for granted the many conveniences that we have these days, until we don’t have them. The power went out this morning around 7:00am and didn’t come back on again until 3:00pm. I’ve no idea why. Pretty much everything went down with it, including our ability to make calls as the cell signal is already weak and we rely on WiFi calling.
Gratitude for all that we have, and those who keep the services running.

Day 6: Engineering, suggested by @ridwan
For all the advancements in digital technology, I am fascinated by the precision engineering that goes into analog clocks and watches. This photo is the back of a clock hanging in my mother’s apartment.
Three egrets fly home in formation. Home to roost before another day of foraging.
The first dry, windless day for weeks. Couple that with it being a Sunday, and by mid-afternoon the hum of lawn mowers could be heard around the neighborhood.
I was adding to the noise by getting wet and dirty with a power washer, removing grime accumulated through the wet weather.
My wife and I have been watching Shrinking on Apple TV+, and thoroughly enjoying it. Funny, well written, and a good cast. Recommended. 🍿
🌞 The first morning waking up to sun for a long time. Much gratitude.

Day 5: Tile, suggested by @thedimpause
After our recent visits to Portugal, I feel spoiled for choice for tiles to share today. These were taken in Porto.

Day 4: Zip, suggested by @Miraz
This car, sitting in front of our hotel in Florence, Italy last year, looked as though it had some zip to it.
