Snowy Creek-Mallards, by Maynard Reece

Timber, 500 pieces.  This is my second Timber puzzle and I liked this one a bit better; similar themes, but more fun piecing together the large light areas. 3/5

Fowey Harbour, Cornwall

Master Craftsman Gold Box, 500 pieces. Very similar to Optimago (did I read they were related, or is it just that Optimago also has a Gold Box line?).  3/5

Long Trail, unknown

About 300 pieces.  Vintage, curvy cutting like Penelope--I liked it a lot, though it's showing its age.  3/5.

Metropolitain, by Linnea Pergola

Liberty, 616 pieces.  A lot of interesting stuff going on here, which made it a bit hard to work out where things went, but that's part of the fun.  4/5

Moose, unknown (maybe J.K. Straus)

474 pieces. Feels like a Straus puzzle--tight, pretty good condition piecewise. Sometimes it's hard to tell how much colors have faded over time, but here I think it's pretty clear that a bunch of detail has gone, which leaves the puzzler more reliant on piece shape. That's not a huge problem for me since I like relying on piece shape for sufficiently varied puzzles.  3/5

African Marketplace, Bogart's

584 pieces. A new maker for me--some very delicate protrusions on the whimsies, which were nonetheless in great shape. The cuts lacked the wit of the best Staves, but the difficulty and quality were comparable otherwise.  Really glad to have found them! 7/10

more animal whimsies--repeating shape

The flamingoes at the bottom are in the puzzle; those on top are the border

one multipiece whimsy, an elephant

The Sacred Egyptian Bean, Dr. Robert J. Thornton

Liberty, 496 pieces.  Another puzzle with big areas of similar colors, and dancers in the petals.  3/5
