whereizzy from AL

I'm near Chicago, some strong winds came though during the night and really shook my crab apple tree, it looks like it's snowing - the trees is in full bloom. Enjoy some time in the yard, enjoy your time on the site, Mary

Welcome to Sudokuland Whereizzy.

Again, I say welcome, Whereizzy -- cute screen name. We're glad you're here! CUL8R

Well Sue, I'm glad to see you're still doing the jigsaws and posting. It's always nice to see a "long-timer" on the site.

Thank you! I didn't realize I could post here. DUH!! I've loved this site since I found it and really enjoy the jigsaws...get to see places I'll never seen in person and enjoy the talent of the photographers. Sadly, I don't have a clue how to play Sudoku.

Hi whereizzy!
Just answered your question about the stacks of limestone on today's Easy Jigsaw. I've repeated it here in case you don't go back to that page!!
The cliffs along the southern coast of Victoria are made of limestone and they (the cliffs) are continually being eroded away into free standing stacks & arches. The stacks are affectionately called Apostles. These stacks eventually erode away to nothing, but more are forming all the time. The coastline is gradually shrinking, though!!!

Hi whereizzy!
Don't know if you do the jigsaws on the sudoku page, but if you do you probably know about odd sized jigsaws appearing one the Easy Sudoku page. The following is what I think has happened to those jigsaws!

This is copy & paste message about the Sudoku Easy Jigsaw Problems:
They went wild after one of Gath's changes. If you go back in the beginning (15th May 2005) & check the photos in the archives you'll find that the only jigsaw is the torso in the black jumper with the white coffee cup, you'll find that photo as the jigsaw on every Easy Sudoku page up till the 12th of January this year. I did comment on this earlier this year, but I'm usually commenting when no one's around!!!
I'd say the photos we're getting are the ones from the Easy pages that don't have a home any more! And the off sized ones are possibly the very early reward photos for finishing the Sudoku!
So I think we just have to accept that the Easy Sudoku jigsaw is going to too big or very small, more frequently than being a good size!!

Thanks for the info, Kate. I don't visit the Sudoku page because I don't play. I do love the jigsaws and have been going back into the archives and working some 'hards' that I never had a chance to work. I doubt I'll ever make it back to the 1st of the year. I'm pretty slow.

Hi whereizzy!
Just thought I'd give you the info on the gumtree in today's Medium JS!
The tree has been in a bushfire & it survived! The scribbles are made by the pupae of a very small moth!
The eggs of this moth are laid between the old and new season's bark of gum-barked eucalypt trees. As the larva burrows between the bark layers it leaves a tunnel which is revealed when the old bark falls away. Like all insect larvae, that of Ogmograptis scribula increases in size periodically and these changes can be seen as a widening in the tunnel revealed as a scar on the bark surface.
In December the larvae tunnel to the surface to pupate. We do not know whether the larva forms its cocoons under lose bark on the tree or descends to the ground to pupate in the litter on the forest floor – the cocoon is very small and almost impossible to find. Inside its cocoon, Ogmograptis scribula undergoes metamorphosis becoming first a pupa and then assuming its final form.
It doesn't damage the tree, just makes it interesting. There are 3 different Eucalypts the Scribbly Gum Moth, Ogmograptis scribula, scribble on!!
