Colorful Cat

 Anthology, 180 pieces. Their attempt at this popular style; small pieces make it more challenging than some versions. 3/5

The Blackbird by Corot

 Puzzleplex, 630 pieces. This is a difficult puzzle, whose extensive color line cutting leads to entire distinct areas that don't interlock. Only when big sections of sky were assembled, for example, was it possible to see where the branches went. It was impressive but challenging. 3/5

multipiece bird and arrow touching bird

75th Anniversary Palm Beach, Herbert Hofer

 Liberty, 523 pieces. Lovely colors and a few new-to-me whimsies that fit the theme. 3/5

hammock

shipwreck and oblivious reader

the rest of the ship and a drummer

dancers, woman with basket balanced on head

Five Sparrows and Camellias

 Conrad Armstrong, 389 pieces. Impressive hand-cut puzzle with a distinctive cut style that I can't describe well other than as "wriggly." The dropout section was a particular challenge. High resulting difficulty. 5/5

a total killer

Dahlia, Steven N. Meyers

 TurtleTeasers, 295 pieces. Very difficult because of the slowly changing image--as it gets toward the edge, it gets harder and harder to distinguish placement. The characteristic TurtleTeasers style is there. 3/5

Pelican

 Chestnut & Hemlock, 180 pieces. A real step up in difficulty compared to earlier puzzles from this maker that I've done! 4/5 great fun

S-Car-Go-Go

 Platinum Puzzles, 142 pieces. A nice Teaser-style puzzle with good "before it was placed, I couldn't believe it fit there and once it's there I can't believe I didn't see it!" energy. 6/10 Stave scale
