Have fun with this peacock train jigsaw puzzle!

By

The peacocks at Leo Carrillo Ranch have quite the reputation here in North San Diego County. They tend to be bold, and this one was a bit of a showoff, too. He doesn’t know it, but he’s my photo of the week and the main attraction in this peacock train jigsaw puzzle! (You can also play the puzzle on Jigsaw Planet.)

By the way, if you work the puzzle and leave a comment that includes how long it took to finish, you’ll be entered into a drawing for a $5.00 Starbucks gift card at the end of the month. I’ll also announce the average and best times in next week’s newsletter. So, come on! Jump in and play!  (My time was 27:03. I’m sure you can do better!)

Photo of the Week – Peacock showing off his train

This is what your puzzle should look like when you finish! Beautiful, isn’t he? As it seems to always go in the world of nature, only the males have those magnificent feathers. The females,  or peahens, get to admire them and, presumably, select a mate based on the peafowl version of how ‘buff’ their suitor is. Wouldn’t you know it though, we humans just had to get in on the act by turning peacock into a verb. Yes, it’s perfectly okay to say ‘he peacocks his way across the room.’

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.

    I guess I’m rather pokey even though I love to work jigsaw puzzles. Gorgeous peacock! My time was 9.51.

    I am not very quick at doing puzzles even tho I enjoy working them. It took me 11 minutes to do this one. It was a pretty peacock photo.

    Time 14:57. This was an excellent choice for a puzzle! The intricacies of all the feathers made it quite a challenge! After completing the rim, I found myself selecting the angle of the feathers first and then selecting the shapes that fit within the overall color scheme. Very good!

    Oh my goodness! It took me 22:31! I think I would have done better if I weren’t using my phone lol! It’s so pretty though!

    My time was 15:27. Been years since I have done one. Since I joined a rescue my house has half a dozen cats at any given time. I finally gave up and gave the 20 plus boxes to the local senior center and the two assisted living facilities. I had resisted doing them online. Just didn’t seem right. But I could not refuse this one. Love peacocks.
    Thank you.

    This was fun and lovely. I had 8:41. I lived the first nine years in Pasadena CA and every Sunday after lunch we would go to this peacock place and wander and see these beautiful peacocks. Fond memories.
