A Day for Jigsaws

Summer's turned back the clock:
it's been an indoor jigsaw-day,
but in the pond the first lily opens
and beside it floats a big fat bud.
More waterlilies will follow.
Summer will return in its own good time.

Took this photo through the window. Glad I voted last week by post, as the weather has not been at all conducive to walking out - gales and pouring rain all day! As it felt like winter, I chose today to do a new 500-piece jigsaw - a really lovely Ravensburg one of a painting by an English artist, Stephen Cummins, titled 'Tranquil Harbour'. (See my Extra.) This inspired the jigsaw treatment of my photo (a technique I learned at U3A Photoshop classes). So, this is my Abstract Thursday blip with the theme 'hope' - everything in pieces being put back together. (Good luck with that, whoever ends up in Westminster!)

Thanks to Ingeborg for hosting the challenge.
