Sudoku Puzzles

I have found that today's tough puzzle is suitable for continuing the tutorial on Y Wing Styles.

A link to yet another new blog page should appear in the upper right hand column, under 'Check Out the Sudoku Blog'.

mAen! a somewhat sluggish 7:11.

Hello everyone, looks like a peach tree blossom had to have a second look to see the butterfly.

Bright and sunny here but plenty of snow still on the ground. It will be awhile before we seen any butterflys here.

Lovely picture of flower. Very slow time for me today. 12:03 I hope I find time to check Steve's Y wing tutorial.

9:28 very slow tonight.
A flower with a bonus butterfly. Lovely photo.

Good morning to all! That's a nice photo.

Good morning all. I thought the flower may be a rose of sharon.

7.07 seemed faster though

Lovely picture of coming spring.'

Pretty - nice photography!

5:54. Our ornamental pear is in full bloom now. The ornamental plums in the neighborhood are done and the apples are just budding. Our late camellias are in full bloom, too. I'm going to prepare the beds for my annuals today and put them in this week. It's a gorgeous bright sunny spring day! Hard to believe I was skiing last week.

One and all

mAen, y'all! I'm with you Stella. The flower looks like a rose of sharon (althea) which blooms here in September when the pretty, yellow sulfur butterflies are about.

I saw some butterflies much like this one in Saskachewan last summer when I was there! Any hints as to where this photo was taken?

The photo is a lovely reminder that spring will be here soon.

mAen, all. only 2 hours and 6 minutes(I forgot to pause the timer when I was requested to run to the hardware store)!

8:40...don't usually time myself...

Amelia - I believe you may be right about it being a peach blossum...just lost my little peach tree last year, after Katrina battered it badly the year before, it developed some kind of fungus and keeled over. Quite sad, I enjoyed those peaches.

Pretty picture. I wish it was spring time here!!

lovely spring photo

Good morning everyone. The butterfly landed on a blossom on my nectarine tree last spring (Sept 2006) as I was taking a photo in my garden in Adelaide, South Australia.

I love fruit trees. It's how to get produce from your garden with minimum tillage and work. Vegetables take too much water. Fruit trees look great in bloom, are verdant in summer and let the light in in winter. The best back yard I know produces something from fruit trees every month of the year. Something to aim for.

6:49. Slow today.

It's raining in canberra today and I just tried riding in. I gave up. I didn't even consider rain as a possible spoiler but it really was! I put the washing out on the line. That's what did it. If you're looking for a drought breaker forget the rain dancing - put your washing out on the line and plan a big road ride. Planning a few other things that need a dry day will help too. :-)

I would love to have my own fruit tree. There development where I live does not allow them. I do see lots of butterflies down here.

The garden where the pic was taken has a variety of fruit trees - nectarine, peach, apricot, orange and lemon. We shared the stone fruits with the birds and possums this summer - as well as the butterflies, but they don't eat much! The apricots were so delicious picked warm from the tree. yummmm

Butterfly or Cabbage Moth? I sometimes wish I had Elmer Fudd out there with his shot gun to keep those varmints off my cabbages!

I thought I would have another go at the puzzle with the timer on but not trying to rush and got a time of 8:19 still a bit slow compared to some of the experts .LOL

5:09 I always find these sort of pictures peaceful - probably because I am outside in the warm sunshine.

9:08 Hi to all.

It's a butterfly. I've been told that butterflies' wings rest in a vertical position, perpendicular to their bodies; moths' wings form a flat triangular shape over their bodies.
