This is one of my latest clover collections - with my most precious one: the 7 leafed one at the bottom!
Since I was little you cld put me out in a clover field and I wld spot the 4 leafed ones - it is like I have tunnel vision - my eyes zoom in immediately on several ones. This works even up to now! When I walk the dog and I happen to spot clovers and feel like it I can skim and hone in on them :D.
So as for superstition: 4 leaves mean general luck, but there are also the following possibilities:
5 - fame
6 - wealth
7 - lifelong prosperity.
How lucky am I???

Koninginnenpage - Old World Swallowtail (Papilio machaon), different pose.
Very rare, first local sighting ever. I never thought I'd see the day... and the swallowtail. (-;
NB: In Dutch clover (klaver) in card games is also the name of the suit of clubs;
hence the Queen of Clubs - Klavervrouw - Clover Queen.
(The name clubs makes no real sense, the symbol clearly is a three-leaf clover, but is in fact literal a translation of the former Spanish name: basto(s) - cane/stick.)
Koninginnenpage means Queen's Page, with 'pages' being the colloquial Dutch name for the Papilionidae-family, including swallowtails and hairstreaks.

Polarizing filter and high winds got me a some blur, but I really liked the cloud formation with the clover.

this morning, i crouched (kindly) in someone else’s yard, photographing a patch of illuminated clover. a neighbor walked by and said, “i must tell you: my daughter has been watching you for years. now she squats on the ground to take pictures and she’s getting really good stuff. by watching you, she’s learned so much.”
we never know the impact we have on others. it’s a good reminder to be kind, live wholeheartedly, and take photographs from curious positions.
