If there's one thing I hate more than missing puzzle pieces, it's running jokes that go on too long.  So don't expect to see a post begin like this EVER AGAIN!

This was a fairly standard puzzle.  Like I posted earlier, a common format is sky-castle-boats-water, well, another really common one is sky-castle-bushes-flowers.  I'm not a big fan of the bushes in these puzzles, honestly.  Each piece is pretty indistinct and its usually pretty tedious work to do them, especially when it's all one uniform color and texture, like this one.  I like bushes in real life though, so the lingering appreciation for them helps me power through the monotony.

The missing pieces are unfortunate, but at least they allow you to easily see the odd shape of the pieces.  This looked like a pretty old puzzle and I can't recall seeing pieces shaped like that on the more modern puzzles.  I might totally be wrong about that, we shall see as we go through these.  I do like the pieces though, the make it a little bit easier, especially with the dreaded bushes.
