Cataratas Do Iguacu - Brasil (apologies for overdoing it here. The images should all be clickable for a larger view.) Overview from poster in gift shop -- the left side is Brazil, the right side is Argentina Our first view after arriving at the hotel After a short hike on the Brazil side The view from the end of walkway in the previous picture Panorama looking over the walkway Another panorama from the top of an observation tower Our hotel in the Brazilian National Park And the sunset from the roof of the hotel On the Brazil side you get glorious sweeping views of the falls, on the Argentina side you get a more up-close and personal experience At the top of the falls: At the bottom of the falls: On the island in the middle of the falls: You can even take a boat ride right up to (and into) one of the falls And you can cross a lengthy walkway .... that takes you to the top of the largest part of the falls ... Named Garganta del Diablo (Devil's Throat)

Jasdip that is what I thought at first too. But if you look at the way the bird is on the tree it right side up. Nuthatches love to walk down trees head first. Kittywhiskers

Jasdip, I am guessing that voles finally ate them. It is a common around here, but my 2 dozen or so tulips in the front bed had been untouched for about 8 years. Don't know what made the difference this year. I had the fall blooming saffron crocus planted all around the front of the house when we lived in Ohio. I never tried to harvest the red pistles for culinary use. I believe that the saffron crocus is primarily a fall bloomer at least in this country.

Have had 7 straight days of perfect weather to be out in the yard watching DH doing spring maintenance so it has been 11 days since I had a finished puzzle to post. This one was more difficult than most that I have done lately.
