Here's a smattering of the puzzles I completed in August; I've already posted a few others individually.  

* **Cat in a Bag** (Naomi Wilkinson/Happily, 99 pc) - Another in a series of quick puzzles from my local puzzle shop.
* **Stamps** (Trefl, 500 pc) - Grabbed this at a Goodwill store. Really neat graphics. 
* **Yoga Kittens** (Eurographics, 300 pc) - another thrift; the photo on the box was strange, as most (but not all) orange cats were grey, but other orange elements (and all other colours) were true to the puzzle.
* **Where's Bowie?**  (Kev Gahan/Smith Street Gift, 500 pc) - Really neat detail, bought for a relative, completed by me to ensure quality control, then rejected because the recipient already had it!
* **Charlottetown PEI** (Peter Unger/Ravensburger, 500 pc) - One of the competition puzzles at this year's Canadian speed puzzle event. I did not speed through it and really enjoyed myself. 
* **Tuxedo Cat with Collar** (Laura Konyndyk/Talking Tables, 100 pc) - I find these at Goodwill, usually in the "3 for $5" section, so I think this one accompanied two Ethernet cables.
* **San Francisco Bay** (Ravensburger, 500 pc) - A fairly standard "bridge and water" puzzle, made a bit more challenging by the night view. 
* **Flowers in New York** (Lewis Miller/Ravensburger, 300 pc) - Despite a general dislike for foliage, I enjoyed this one as the flowers were different enough that I could at least work each part separately. 
* **Classic Movies Panoramic** (Re-Marks, 1000 pc) - Had a lot of fun with this one, completed in front of the TV while catching up on Jeopardy! episodes. 
* **Surf's Up** (Ravensburger, 500 pc) - My latent "I want to get better at speed puzzling" means I rarely walk past a 500-piece Ravensburger without picking it up ... this one would have been relatively quick in a timed setting.
