This colorful scene by British wildlife artist Bex Parkin feels like peeking into a magical coastal garden where land and sea come together in a lively dance. Above the shoreline, tall grasses and wildflowers are alive with butterflies, bees, and beetles, all moving from bloom to bloom. Birds gather along the rocks, each with its own quirky character. Puffins stand proud, curlews tiptoe with their long beaks, and a heron stands tall as the elegant guardian of the shore. The mix of pink mushrooms and bright blossoms makes the place look like a storybook brought to life.
 
Beneath the surface, another world bustles with vibrant life. Schools of golden fish shimmer among waving seaweed, while crabs scuttle across the sandy floor. A red lobster peers from the rocks, and starfish stretch on the seabed. The underwater world is a carnival of color, revealing new patterns and textures, from coral-like plants to darting fish. It feels like nature’s kaleidoscope, hidden just below our feet.
 
Together, these two halves create a joyful celebration of biodiversity. The artist shows the coast as a complex network of ecosystems, each teeming with life. This 1000 piece puzzle is playful, detailed, and full of discoveries, reminding us that above and below the water’s edge, nature thrives in dazzling variety. Looking at it makes you want to lean in, as with a tide pool, to find other tiny wonders. There will be constant moments of discovery as you put the 1000 piece puzzle together.
