Three of us worked this puzzle together, all in one afternoon. I didn’t think to start taking photos until we were well underway (plus I thought my companions might find it weird). The pictures are also a bit wonky, because we didn’t put the border together first, so there was nothing for me to visually align my camera on. My sister did the sky parts, her partner the transition edges and larger cacti, I did the little one with yellow flowers and all the red and pink bits. We collaborated on the rest, all hands in. Background and edges- all black- came last, and were the trickiest, with lots of tedious try-every-piece-until-one-fits, after we’d sorted them by shape. Quite a few false fits had to be found and relocated, but we were finally all done by dinner time!
My favorite details: the spotted skunk doing a handstand
and the roadrunner that’s caught a lizard
