Numbers we are all probably very familiar with these days. The red label is about 7/8 of an inch wide and the entire photo shows about 1 1/2 inches. For Macro Mondays: Numbers and my POTD.

Interesting Wild Turkey Facts
‧ The Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) and the Muscovy Duck are the only two domesticated birds native to the New World.
‧ In the early 1500s, European explorers brought home Wild Turkeys from Mexico, where native people had domesticated the birds centuries earlier. Turkeys quickly became popular on European menus thanks to their large size and rich taste from their diet of wild nuts. Later, when English colonists settled on the Atlantic Coast, they brought domesticated turkeys with them.
‧ The English name of the bird may be a holdover from early shipping routes that passed through the country of Turkey on their way to delivering the birds to European markets.
‧ Male Wild Turkeys provide no parental care. Newly hatched chicks follow the female, who feeds them for a few days until they learn to find food on their own. As the chicks grow, they band into groups composed of several hens and their broods. Winter groups sometimes exceed 200 turkeys.
‧ As Wild Turkey numbers dwindled through the early twentieth century, people began to look for ways to reintroduce this valuable game bird. Initially they tried releasing farm turkeys into the wild but those birds didn’t survive. In the 1940s, people began catching wild birds and transporting them to other areas. Such transplantations allowed Wild Turkeys to spread to all of the lower 48 states (plus Hawaii) and parts of southern Canada.
‧ Because of their large size, compact bones, and long-standing popularity as a dinner item, turkeys have a better known fossil record than most other birds. Turkey fossils have been unearthed across the southern United States and Mexico, some of them dating from thousands of years ago.
‧ When they need to, Turkeys can swim by tucking their wings in close, spreading their tails, and kicking.

Image made in response to July 5 Macro Mondays' theme, "Numbers and Letters."
(L to view larger on black, L again to exit.)
A picture of a watch without anything else is at worst an image of someone else’s art and at best can be a showcase for the photographer’s expertise at exposure and composition. This image has more meaning to me than you may grasp at first glance so I’ll complete the story here. SPOILER ALERT: It’s a bit long so if you’d like to skip it ... that’s Okay. Just remember to enjoy Today.
The title may attract the attention of a few people already familiar with the acronym. More later ... I purchased the timepiece pictured some 50 or more years ago and it has always been a disappointment ... it still looks almost pristine! It’s promise was that it was self-winding, that is by some engineering magic once it was wound and put on my wrist it somehow was supposed to stay wound enough to keep “good time”. Well, here’s the basic truth; if I wind it up and let it lay on the shelf it will keep perfect time until it runs down in a couple of days. If put it on my wrist it will randomly stop for 5 or 10 minutes at a time from the first hour on ... making it functionally useless!
In the mid-80s after a life changing event I learned that I can only live One Day at a Time (ODaaT). I realized this independent worthless timepiece is in fact a constant reminder that I only have today ... yesterday is history and tomorrow is not yet in play.
It has no other numbers than today’s calendar number and day ... today ... if I keep it wound. My every attempt to use it for my purposes by wearing it ... my actions ... screws up it’s basic time keeping function so if I let go and let it do it’s thing on the shelf all works just fine. I’m some 16 years into retirement and I removed my “working” watch the day I retired ... I know where time is being kept and I can freely live TODAY. If you got this far Happy Macro Monday ... and enjoy today. HMM Everyone.
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
Give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away...
- from Kodachrome by Paul Simon ( selected lyrics )
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Eastman Kodak Co. said Monday that it’s retiring its most senior film because of declining customer demand in an increasingly digital age.
Kodachrome, the world’s first commercially successful color film, was immortalized in song by Paul Simon and spent 74 years in Kodak’s portfolio. It enjoyed its heyday in the 1950s and ’60s but in recent years has nudged closer to obscurity. Sales of Kodachrome are now just a fraction of 1 percent of the company’s total sales of still-picture films, and only one commercial lab in the world still processes it.
Those numbers and the unique materials needed to make it persuaded Kodak to call its most recent manufacturing run the last, said Mary Jane Hellyar, outgoing president of Kodak’s Film, Photofinishing and Entertainment Group.
“Kodachrome is particularly difficult (to retire) because it really has become kind of an icon,” Hellyar said.

Many thanks for all views, fav's and comments, all are greatly appreciated! Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
Numbers are universal and are everywhere we look. I often wonder how the world would manage if there were no numbers.
What do you think?

For Macro Mondays "Numbers"
I didn't have time to take a shot last week when the theme was spiral, so thought I'd combine themes this week!
with much dismay my cassette player finally, after 20 years gave up the ghost. in a vain effort i took it apart in the attempt to revive, unsuccessful. this a photo of the innards of that faithful device.
We've already got 2 N°27s and both are far prettier than this one. Which was pretty much a standard design in Perros. Although this one looks like it was two number stuck together.
