Brief return: Clovelly, Chad Valley

Approx. 250 pieces, one missing: I tried to fix this one but I'm still no good at it, even though the missing piece is just one color. Perhaps in a few years I'll treat myself to having all my missing piece puzzles professionally fixed.  Sorry for the disappearance; I'm teaching and knitting more than puzzling, but I intend to return.  Anyway, this is a nice standard Chad Valley puzzle.  I wish I knew why their colors haven't faded as so many other vintage puzzles have.  3/5

Orbicular Geode Puzzle 572

Nervous System, about 360 pieces.  These puzzles are each unique, and cut in a very difficult branching style with crystal-themed whimsies.  Very fun.  5/5

Spring Garden, Janice Larson

Liberty, 466 pieces. More twistiness, as in the other Larson puzzle I've done, though I didn't try to put the vines together outside of the rest of the puzzle this time.   Nice colors and design that emerged slowly as I put it together. 4/5

Peacock

Zen Puzzles, 298 pieces.  More finely detailed whimsies--this time peacocks, of course--and a colorful but still challenging design.  3/5
