The phenomenon is commonly called autumn colours or autumn foliage in British English and fall colors, fall foliage or simply foliage in American English.

Swedish Tomte Figurines

A tomte, nisse or tomtenisse , nisse (Norway and Denmark) or tonttu (Finland) is a mythological creature from Scandinavian folklore today typically associated with the winter solstice. It is generally described as being no taller than three feet, having a long white beard, and wearing a conical or knit cap in red or some other bright color. Despite his small size, the tomte possessed an great strength. He was the protector of the farm and caretaker of livestock, and his retributions for bad practices ranged from small pranks like a hard strike to the ear to more severe punishments. One was also required to please the spirit with gifts. If the tomte was not given his payment, he would leave the farm or house, or engage in mischief.

Colorful Light Bulb Shaped Bottles

Bottles are narrow-necked containers made of an impermeable material (clay, glass, plastic, aluminium, etc.) in various shapes and sizes and used to store and transport liquids (water, milk, beer, wine, ink, cooking oil, soft drinks, etc.). Some of the earliest bottles appeared in China, Phoenicia, Crete, and Rome. In this fun new puzzle we feature three colorful light bulb shaped bottles. What would you fill them up with?

Freshly Roasted Coffee Beans

According to popular legend, the coffee plant was discovered in Ethiopia by a goatherd named Kaldi. When the fruit is ripe, it is almost always handpicked. Two methods are primarily used to process coffee berries. The first, "wet" or "washed" process, has historically usually been carried out in Central America and areas of Africa. The flesh of the cherries is separated from the seeds and then the seeds are fermented – soaked in water for about two days. The "dry processing" method, cheaper and simpler, was historically used for lower-quality beans in Brazil and much of Africa, but now brings a premium when done well. The roasting process is what produces the characteristic flavor of coffee by causing the green coffee beans to change in taste. The first recorded implements for roasting coffee beans were thin pans made from metal or porcelain, used in the 15th century in the Ottoman Empire and Greater Persia. In today's puzzle we feature some freshly roasted coffee beans in a heart shaped bowl.

Red Telephone Box

The traditional British red telephone kiosk can still be seen in many places throughout the UK. Designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, they were painted red to make them easier to spot. Although production of the traditional boxes ended in 1985, many still stand in Britain. The red phone box is often seen as a British cultural icon throughout the world.

Keyboard and Mouse

Despite the development of alternative input devices, such as the mouse, touchscreen, pen devices, character recognition and voice recognition, the keyboard remains the most commonly used device for interacting with a computer. As for the mouse- the earliest known publication of the term as a computer pointing device is in Bill English's 1965 publication "Computer-Aided Display Control". Around 1981 Xerox included mice with its Xerox Star, based on the mouse used in the 1970s on the Alto computer at Xerox PARC. Sun Microsystems, Symbolics, Lisp Machines Inc., and Tektronix also shipped workstations with mice, starting in about 1981. Later, inspired by the Star, Apple Computer released the Apple Lisa, which also used a mouse. However, none of these products achieved large-scale success. Only with the release of the Apple Macintosh in 1984 did the mouse see widespread use.

Binoculars

In today's new puzzle we feature a pair of binoculars; also known as field glasses or binocular telescopes - they are usually designed for the specific application for which they are intended, most are sized to be held using both hands, although sizes vary widely from opera glasses to large pedestal mounted military models.

Red Tractor Carousel Seat

If you don't already know, a carousel, roundabout (British English), or merry-go-round, is an amusement ride consisting of a rotating circular platform with seats for riders. The "seats" are traditionally in the form of rows of wooden horses or other animals mounted on posts, many of which are moved up and down by gears to simulate galloping. Some modern variations, like the one featured in this fun puzzle, include cars, tractors , buses, planes, space ships, boats, mythological creatures such as dragons or unicorns, cartoon characters and other types of day to day objects, animals of imaginary characters in the design of the ride.

Lots and Lots of Coins

Coins are usually metal or alloy, or sometimes made of synthetic materials. They are usually disc shaped. The first coins were developed independently in Iron Age Anatolia and Archaic Greece, India and China around the 7th and 6th centuries BCE. Coins spread rapidly in the 6th and 5th centuries BCE, throughout Greece and Persia, and further to the Balkans.

Horse Chestnuts

Today's puzzle features a bunch of horse chestnuts (Aesculus hippocastanum). The common name "horse chestnut" is reported as having originated from the erroneous belief that the tree was a kind of chestnut, together with the observation that eating the fruit cured horses of chest complaints despite this plant being poisonous to horses.
