Drowning by Numbers

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is numbers.
As you can see, Mr. Egg is obsessed with numbers… Since he gained a little bit of weight, he can’t stop measuring himself… He takes note of all the numbers each day. Unfortunately for Mr. Egg, even with all the efforts he makes in order to lose some weight, the numbers are still the same (or almost)… Maybe Mr.Egg’s metabolism has slowed down…or maybe it is hormonal … or maybe it is both… or maybe Mr. Egg eats too much Nutella on his cheat days… We will never know. However, Mr. Egg is very motivated to bring those numbers down before going back to work in few weeks…
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! Have a beautiful day !
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
Goosander - Mergus Merganser
The common merganser (North American) or goosander (Eurasian) (Mergus merganser) is a large duck of rivers and lakes in forested areas of Europe, northern and central Asia, and North America.
The common merganser eats fish and nests in holes in trees.
In most places, the common merganser is as much a frequenter of salt water as fresh water. In larger streams and rivers, they float down with the stream for a few miles, and either fly back again or more commonly fish their way back, diving incessantly the whole way. In smaller streams, they are present in pairs or smaller groups, and they float down, twisting round and round in the rapids, or fishing vigorously in a deep pool near the foot of a waterfall or rapid. When floating leisurely, they position themselves in water similar to ducks, but they also swim deep in water like cormorants, especially when swimming upstream. They often sit on a rock in the middle of the water, similar to cormorants, often half-opening their wings to the sun.
These handsome diving ducks are a member of the sawbill family, so called because of their long, serrated bills, used for catching fish. A largely freshwater bird, the goosander first bred in the UK in 1871. It built up numbers in Scotland and then since 1970 it has spread across northern England into Wales, reaching south-west England. Its love of salmon and trout has brought it into conflict with fishermen. It is gregarious, forming into flocks of several thousand in some parts of Europe.
Population:
UK breeding:
3,100-3,800 pairs
UK wintering:
12,000 birds
The Roman Number C (= 100) derives from the Etruscan variant Ж (made of a right-hand open and left-hand open letter C) Under the Roman influence only the right-hand open C was kept and stands for the Latin word centum (= 100).

Arithmophobia or Numerophobia is the exaggerated, constant and often irrational fear of numbers. The words Arithmophobia and Numerophobia both have Latin/Greek origins where the root word stands for numbers, and phobos is Greek for “deep aversion or fear”.
The fear of numbers can place many restrictions on the phobic’s life and may even affect his standard of living. Specific number phobias like the fear of number 13 or 666 etc could be fuelled by cultural or religious beliefs or even TV shows and movies about them. She/he often feels embarrassed to admit the problem causing one to become socially withdrawn. Hereditary, genetic factors and brain chemistry can sometimes lead to this phobia.

In the long forgotten past before Sat-Nav (Satellite Navigation) and GPS (Global Positioning System) , we had to find out where we were and where to go using paper maps and strange little manual devices called…..Compasses!
For the group, ‘Crazy Tuesday’ and the theme of ‘Numbers’.
I hope to find some time this week to edit and post some photos.

There seem to be good numbers of Ring Ouzels around this year in the usual places around the Derbyshire edges. I took this image near Burbage earlier today.

Two of my trusty rules to get the size of the macros frames, one steel rule and the other an inside/outside caliper done in inches and mm which makes it super easy to convert inch to mm. This was an 1-5/8 inch frame or 41mm.
Ringed Plovers breed on shingle or pebble beaches and are very susceptible to human disturbance. They are “Red Listed” under the “UK Birds of Conservation Concern” because of a big drop in numbers in recent years.
They are well known to feign injury to draw predators or humans away from chicks or eggs.
Thank you for having a look at my photos. Comments or faves are very welcome and much appreciated.
They are everywhere these days.
Ils sont partout ces jours-ci

Just a simple close-up shot of the corners of £20, £5 and £10 notes. I don’t love money but love the designs and colours on banknotes wherever I come across them around the world.
A foreground feature to catch interest, a nice colour in the sky to fill the background and some smooth water to fill in the gaps. I know it’s all very formulaic and landscape photography by the numbers, but you know what, I’ve been doing this for years now and I still like the formula. I still find myself mesmerised by a beautiful sunset and find it invigorating to get up before the sunrise to see the stunning dawn to a new day. I wish I had more free time to catch nature’s lightshows but for now I’ll get out there when I can and hope to catch a few images worth sharing. Even if they are a bit formulaic!

The #s 14 and 41 lined up here by chance. "The combination of numbers in the reversed mirror hour 14:41 gives the person energy to overcome the obstacles they encounter. The angels are sending a message of their support along the way. They ask the person who is seeing this mirror hour frequently to have patience and never rush into action."

The Small Copper is usually seen in ones and twos, but in some years large numbers may be found at good sites. Males are territorial, often choosing a piece of bare ground or a stone on which to bask and await passing females. They behave aggressively towards any passing insects, returning to the same spot when the chase is over.
Though it remains a common and widespread species, the Small Copper declined throughout its range during the twentieth century. Widespread through Britain and Ireland, and occasionally visits gardens.
