The first thing I thought of for this prompt was solitaire and those sort of games that require endless patience to keep on trying until you solve them.
Apart from cards - real ones, not computer generated - we also have a couple of timber solitaire games. The first one below is a typical marble solitaire where you have to jump over a marble either horizontally or vertically removing the marble as you jump over. The aim is to end with one marble in the centre hole. The other is a standard 7 piece Soma Cube where the pieces need to be arranged to form a cube. Apparently invented around 1936 by Piet Hein, it has 240 possible solutions (ah good old Google, I didn't know that).
Of course, having pulled them out, I then spent a bit of time putting them together. I was surprised that I remembered how to do the marble solitaire straight away even though I haven't done it for around 3 years. Amazing what the mind remembers.
Again I wasn't sure which photo I liked better, but the cube one was the one I put up on the CY365 gallery.
And the next prompt - golden, again focussing on the late afternoon sunlight.
