Pictures tell a story and the story I saw when I first viewed this puzzle picture was a scene of an old farmstead with a beautiful sun setting over the old farm tractor.

The homeowner is into landscaping because the yard is full of diverse types of plants and flowers and the scene is set in the Spring of the year because the flowers are in full bloom and the grass is green.

America has so many interesting, educational, and beautiful places to see. As I was working on this puzzle, I watched it come together and was mentally revisiting some of the different trips I have made to these states. 

When I first saw the steam powered locomotive in this puzzle picture, I thought about my ride on the Durango to Silverstone train. When I finished putting the puzzle together, I took a closer look at it and as I looked at the side of the engine, I saw the name “Durango & Silverton”.

I loved putting this puzzle together and as I did, the steam locomotives that I had the pleasure of riding began to come alive in my memory.

In the puzzle picture the focal point is the distant view of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. It also includes a small group of old storefronts where flowers, bread, fruits, and other products are sold. There are also two sidewalk cafes.

In the photo of the puzzle below you will see a gentleman dressed in a black suit looking at a painting in what appears to be an art museum. It is the second picture from the bottom on the far right side. It is a self portrait of Carl Larsson painted in 1895.

The picture in this puzzle has a little of everything in it. The old general store has a large sign stating it was established in 1933. It also has signage indicating some of the items for sale inside the store.

The names of the provinces are large and there are many smaller pictures of what that particular provinces is famous for inserted into in the names of the provinces. It was a fun puzzle to put together and brought back many great memories of my trips through Canada.
