About Black-throated Trogon: The Black-throated Trogon is a colorful bird found in tropical lowland forests of Central and South America. Males have striking green backs, bright yellow bellies, and a distinctive black throat and face, while females are duller with grayish tones. These birds are known for their still, quiet perching behavior, often sitting motionless in the understory. They feed primarily on insects and small fruits, which they catch with short, sallying flights. Black-throated Trogons nest in tree cavities, often excavated in decaying wood or termite nests. // Image Credit: Gould, John, Elizabeth Gould, Charles Joseph Hullmandel, Joseph Goodall, and Richard and John Edward Taylor (Firm),.

This new puzzle is based on Paul Gauguin (a French Post-Impressionist artist) 1891 oil on canvas painting with the same name.

The painting depicts four women seeking shelter under the leaves of a large tree on a hot summer day. In the distance, another woman stands in the doorway of a traditional house and looks on in the direction of the large tree and the other women.
Popcorn is a type of corn kernel that is used for popping. When heated, the kernel's moisture inside turns into steam, and the pressure eventually causes the kernel to burst and turn inside out, revealing a fluffy, white interior. This process creates the snack food that is commonly known as popcorn. Popcorn can be made at home using a popcorn maker, on the stove using a pot and oil, or in the microwave using special bags or containers designed for popcorn. It is often served as a snack and can be flavored with various seasonings or toppings, such as butter, salt, cheese, caramel, or chocolate. Popcorn is also a popular snack at movie theaters and sporting events.

"The Ponte Salario" by Hubert Robert is a painting that illustrates a historical and architectural scene, blending Romanticism and Neoclassicism. Robert was a French painter known for his landscapes, depictions of ruins, and historical subjects, often evoking a sense of nostalgia for classical antiquity. He painted numerous architectural and landscape scenes during the late 18th century, many featuring Roman ruins or imagined ancient structures. The Ponte Salario, depicted in this painting, was an ancient bridge located near Rome. Built during the Roman Republic era, it spanned the Aniene River and served as a vital point of connection along the Via Salaria, an important Roman road. The bridge itself, originally of ancient Roman origin, underwent various transformations over the centuries. In the painting, Hubert Robert has captured the bridge as a ruin, which aligns with his romantic fascination with dilapidated structures and the passage of time. The detailed structure, with its broken arch, plants growing through the cracks, and the small scenes of everyday life—people washing clothes, conversing, or simply lingering near the water—brings the scene to life. This blending of human activity and architectural ruin was a hallmark of Robert's work.
