In the Gourden

 Stave, 75 pieces. This three-sword Touzzle (borderless teaser) was a delight, just the right amount of difficulty. The sunflowers were a bonus. 8/10

Sonoran Sunset

 Stave, 495 pieces. Another lovely one with a lot of sky and a great state interacting whimsy. 7/10

Great Arizona/cactus whimsy combo

once again Google and my photo system work poorly together, but the dropouts are still great

Another really nice geographic whimsy

The Badger State

 Stave, 65 pieces. Continuing my quest for state puzzles--I lived in Wisconsin when I was a kid, so it was an obvious candidate, and having a Barbie whimsy was a bonus. 6/10

Preserve Us

 Approx. 200 pieces? 3 Cat Max and Chestnut & Hemlock. Laser-cut. Interesting repeating vine design with an even  more interesting set of dropouts in the middle for added difficulty. 4/5

Love Language

 The Puzzled Co., 61 pieces. New to me cutter; water-jet cuts on relatively thin wood. 3/5

Sunny Embankment

 Stave, 460 pieces. I admit, I like a lot of sky on Staves; it lets you really enjoy the piece shapes. 6/10

Inside an Inflating Hot Air Balloon, Benh Lieu Song

 Snowflake, 350 pieces. The colors make for steady assembly. 3/5
