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!!
A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 47874
This is a female Snail Kite, landing on a convenient perch with a snail. Snail Kites are endangered in Florida, and I’ve found their numbers down at the places I generally find them. This picture was taken when there were a lot on Lake Kissimmee, but that has changed. They have evolved into somewhat of a dead end, dieting exclusively, as far as I know, on snails. The adapted to an invasive snail with some beak development, which has probably saved them here. Generally, the delicately pick the snails from just below the surface of fresh water, often passing it from talon to beak on their way to a place to land to eat it. Some favorite landing spots grow large piles of empty snail shells. Limpkins, who also consume large numbers of snail, do the same but because they eat on the ground, and not on a perch like Snail Kites usually do, their litter is more dispersed.

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.
Macro Mondays -- "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’.
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.

Numbers 26:65 “For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.”

Thanks for the visit and comments, much appreciated!💕
I like numbers, they “usually” add up and always follow rules and remain constant whereas letters require imagination and often can be misinterpreted.
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.

Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)
Emigrant Lake - Jackson County - Oregon - USA
Habitat : Lakes and Ponds
Food : Fish
Nesting : Tree
Behavior : Aerial Dive
Conservation : Low Concern
"Unique among North American raptors for its diet of live fish and ability to dive into water to catch them, Ospreys are common sights soaring over shorelines, patrolling waterways, and standing on their huge stick nests, white heads gleaming. These large, rangy hawks do well around humans and have rebounded in numbers following the ban on the pesticide DDT. Hunting Ospreys are a picture of concentration, diving with feet outstretched and yellow eyes sighting straight along their talons."

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.
