"Colour triangle made from 21 bowls" (detail) - Geert Lap
Players enjoying their game of bowls on the bowling green at Kensington Gardens, Pakefield, Lowestoft.
Bowls is played on a square of grass called a green, which is divided into lanes called rinks. Players take turns to deliver their bowls from a mat at one end of the rink towards a small white target ball, often referred to as the ’jack’, situated near the other end. The bowls are shaped so that they take a curved path towards the jack, known as the bias.
The aim of the game is to get your bowls closest to the jack. One point is given for each bowl nearer the jack than the nearest bowl of your opponent. For example, if you or your team has three bowls closer to the jack than your opponent’s nearest bowl then you will score three for that end.

More bowls from one of the Turkish market stalls at the Tesselaar Tulip Festival. The more I look at these the more I wish I'd bought one. I also really like the the way the coloured lamps in the background match with the bowls and vases too!

An outtake for a threefer for the 365 (in the end I went for just the chair) as TGO came to help in his own inimitable way, so I don't think this chair could be regarded as empty.

That is three bowls to the right, two in the middle and three to the left. They are of cast sahari (sahari is an alloy of copper tin and lead) and dates to the Nara period and the 8th century. This set is an 'Important Cultural Property' (重要文化財) - that is a term for items and structures classified by the state to be of particular importance to the Japanese people.
To quote the museum label (kindly offered in English too):
The seven smaller bowls can be stacked and stored in the largest bowl when the set is not in use. Bowls were the main items among the food offering vessels used for Buddhist rituals during the Nara period (710-794). Multiple sets are often included in temple inventories from this period.
On display at the Tokyo national museum.
Yes there is a mathematical equation I could conjure up for the ratio of the proportions of these but for this Flickr Friday shot let us just say small, medium and large mixing bowls.
This set of seven shots demonstrates Charlie's eating ritual. All have a lot of editing, and a few are really terrible, but the group is a pretty good representation of what we sit through every time he eats. Back and forth between the 2 bowls, pausing in between. It goes on for minutes after the other cats have finished. The person whose turn it is to feed the cats has to guard Charlie until he finishes, and only then can she open the doors for the other cats who have finished.
These stainless steel mixing bowls are essential tools for cooking and they make a cool photo as well
