Masters of the Maze

Do you like finding the one correct path through a maze? Some can be quite difficult . . .



. . . while others are, admittedly, much easier.



And some just require a bit of creative thinking . . . .

now this may sound weird, but I do the the maze thing backwards; I start at the finish and work my way back.

I like the maze for the chain lock.

Bob said...

That maze chain lock would be the death of me!

Marie Smith said...

Lol. A-mazing!

I am with that 6 year old!

Love the maze chain lock! Very cool! I've always loved mazes. Used to do the paper puzzles in pen! Have an a-amazing day! :o)

Leanna said...

That little girl has the right idea. Eliminate the stress too. I love playing with mazes.

Rosemary said...

As a child I was excited by gardens with hedge mazes that I could explore - sometimes they took ages to find the way back out again.

Linda d said...

I'm a fan. Love the door lock.

Joanne Noragon said...

A great collection. I tend to work them backwards, too, but it's the same as frontwards--a maze. I didn't get through the lock. I've lost concentration this last year.

Hello Debra, I too love that lock maze! A while ago I did a post on an odd Chinese antique with built-in maze (the maze part is at the end, but the object itself is quite unusual).

That's it. I'd be stuck in that room forever. They'd find a skeleton. Or me in a corner crying and babbling nonsense. That's if they could get in the room.

Moving with Mitchell said...

Sheer brilliance. I love those kids. And I’d hate to have to ge out that door if there were a fire!

Crystal Collier said...

LOL! I had a good laugh. Thanks for that. Sometimes we just have to color outside the lines and take what comes.

Rain said...

OMG Debra lol...after a night of tasting some good wine, I don't know that I'd ever get that chain lock on or off ha ha! Cute post!!!

Guillaume said...

I love mazes and their symbolic. They are fascinating.

Professor Chaos said...

Definitely. Screw those rules. Those are the man's rules, not ours!

Fundy Blue said...

I got such a kick out of this funny post, Debra! I used to love mazes, but I haven't done one since I stopped teaching. I frequently had mazes on hand for my school kiddos who enjoyed them. I was just looking at a cover of an old Time Magazine that has a huge maze ~ wondering if it was a true maze and if I could solve it. Perhaps I should give it a go. Have a great day tomorrow!

this is all about our complicated psyche
we like to choose difficult ways to reach our easy destination.

enjoyed the way you put it my friend :)

Jono said...

The kid is thinking outside the box.

Bob Johns said...

Cheers.

My mom loves doing these!!
I went to an art exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario. It was done by Yoko Ono. This was like 8 years ago? It was a large maze where you could walk through. All plexiglass. In the middle, was a "toilet"! LOL! Well, guess who got there without any problem? Me! LOL! The lady said, I was the first one who did it. I was very proud. I don't know what that said about me? LOL!

Magic Love Crow said...

I forgot to say, I think that lock one is cool!

Magic Love Crow said...

Hey Debra, does Leeanna know we can't comment on her blog? When I go to her postings, there is no comment button?

Magic Love Crow said...

Hey Debra, sorry to be a pest! I was able to comment!

My biggest fear is going into one of those hedge mazes and never finding my way out. Then someone finds me six months later.
