Adorable! Once again, I'm amazed at your original ideas and creativity in translating them into fun, surprising puzzles!Thanks, as always, Teresa!!!

Thanks, Tonia. It was fun to create, but took me awhile. First I did the guy on a hill, but that was just too plain. So I added the girl, then the tray of food and the cat, then I added mountains, then I added the white goats, and it was not solvable. So then I added the black goat. I looked at it and thought it needed one more thing - a feather in the guy's hat! Then I was done. :-)

What a great image! I love the addition of the animals. It is a very cute story puzzle and fun to work.

Thanks. I was inspired by my son John. He is obsessed with yodeling (among many other things). He had been watching YouTube videos about yodeling, one after another. Today he is watching videos of bagpipes, over and over. The other day he was watching videos of people laughing. There could be worse obsessions, don't you think?

Here is just one of the songs I heard repeated many times, the one that gave me the idea for this puzzle:

It reminds me of "the Sound of Music." Nice one.

Thanks, Adam. You are right. The song that gave me the idea is from that movie.

LOL My last pixel was the left side of the hat, so I was thinking why is that woman waving at an indian?

Well, you got the feather right. :-)

Why does your son have so much time on the internet with you doing these puzzles?

Joe, when my son John comes to visit, I let him use my old laptop, and I use the newer one, and both are connected by wi-fi to the Internet. That way we both get our fixes - he can hear his bagpipes and yodeling, and I can play on webpbn. :-)

I love the feather! I couldn't tell what the black goat was a first, I thought it was going to end up being a close-up or extra pixel like some of your other puzzles. Those are some tiny goats! Any chance you'll do a close-up of one?

Probably not - they smell bad. :-)

a wonderful composition.
