Puzzle #50 - White Mountain - Summer Breeze - 1000 pieces
Large, solid (mostly) pieces. Several pieces had paper in the little pockets/slots - sloppily cut, I guess. I think this happens with White Mountain. Not a deal breaker but noticeable. Also noticeable and I remember happening once before so will try to determine if it is a WM issue... there was a teensy tiny bug crawling in the puzzle dust. Ugh. Almost too small to see. Made me think about how many more and in how many boxes and can it spread from box to box and what is it?? sigh. The poster is nice but is actually a tad bit smaller than the image on the box. MasterPieces and Buffalo Games still win on poster size, I think. But the overall size of this puzzle is nice to work with. It completely fills my jumbo size puzzle caddy. Been looking forward to doing this puzzle for awhile. Love this scene.

This puzzle was an absolute dream!! I was a little gun shy on White Mountain after
Beach Vacation was SO much fun until it became pure drudgery at the end... putting a damper on things. This one never did that. It was challenging, to be sure, but never frustrating. It was such a lovely and relaxing image and had so many interesting aspects to it. I had to sit and finish it not because I wanted to move on but because I was so enjoying myself. Wonderful puzzle! White Mountain pieces do tend to have small (almost insignificant) damage to pieces - bent places, top lifting off... but not bad at all. Just not as strong as say, Ravensburger or even Cobble Hill I think. Still, it is definitely a puzzle company I really enjoy. And you just can't beat a good David MacLean image!
