Puzzle Description:

"The ostrich roams the great Sahara. Its mouth is wide, its neck is narra. It has such long and lofty legs, I'm glad it sits to lay its eggs." by Ogden Nash

New version published by synthia.

Okay, I went back and tweaked this one until it is totally solvable. You may need to use edge logic in the upper right corner, but it can be done.

An interesting and challenging series. I'm looking forward to more.

wonderful image!

I love the image, but I give up. I've solved over 90%, but I can't make it work, even with some really picayune edge logic.

I returned to this puzzle after taking a break. If someone ever wants to walk through it, I'd be curious to see where I'm going wrong.

I can't find a way to finish it either.

When I got stuck, I did edge logic on the top row on the right, then big smile logic on the two 2s in the second row. Oh wait. That's not the only option there. Well, I guessed on the second row, with all the 2 clues in that section, that there was a contour. Sorry, Synthia, not logical at the end. But it is a gorgeous image and was a fun solve.

I love it even if it needs some guessing, it's very entertaining and a nice image.

Difficult and beautiful!
