And there are some real goodies in today's additions! Thanks to vwaffle, ruralrob and melodysk! My puzzle collection would be a sad thing if it weren't for the fabulous sharing of my friends. Thanks so much!!
Your walks are certainly beneficial to new "finds" (the mosaic steps for one).....ummmm except for the future Krispy Kreme. I worked across from one for a couple years, only went there once for the grand opening because 2 talk radio hosts that I listen to were there. It was pretty good, they handed out free glazed and coffee.
Since then I've been there at least 3 times, because my Doctor's office is there. I've developed a fondness for the chocolate-covered creme or custard filled ones. Glad I don't get there often.
I didn't grow up with a Krispy Kreme nearby, but we had Dunkin' Donuts and a place called Hi Boys.
NT suggested early on that I take my camera on my walks. At first, I thought it was inconvenient but I got over that. Now it keeps me looking at everything with a different eye and really makes my walks more fun. Plus, I get puzzles!
I use a litte program I bought called Jigsaws Galore. It lets me take any jpg and make a puzzle out of it. Plus it makes what it calls 'gift' jigsaws which are little free-standing programs - these are the ones I upload.
If you have a photo you want a puzzle made out of, shoot it to me! me@susandennis.com It takes about 30 seconds to make a puzzle. Send me as many as you like, I'll make 'em and send 'em right back to you. (But I may snag some for my page... )
It's my opinion that a great photograph doesn't necessarily make the funnest puzzles. But, different people like different puzzles. I love scenes and buildings and not too much solid colors. Some people love the challenge of solids, etc. yadda yadda
Clearly, I spend way too much time with these things but I can't stop! But, I'm like you, I now look at everything and mentally superimpose cuts all over it!

I liked the variety of the little houses all in a row.
(I don't know the poster, but I thought it would make a good jigsaw puzzle)
ok, off to look at your newest ones!

PS: Ever since you asked to use my pics --- I've been incented even further to get better with my photog skills! That really made my day!
