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!!
This hardy species of the merganser family will winter further north than any of the other members and will stay with us during the winter months as long as the water stays open. They prefer fresh water to salt water.
Alaska to Newfoundland is their breeding territory and they don't seem to have a nesting preference using anything from man-made boxes to nesting cavities to nesting on the ground.
They do tend to be one of the more social waterfowl species and can be found in huge flocks on lakes and do accept other species of diving ducks midst their own numbers.
Lots of open water is an asset to them when they go airborne as they require a running start across the top of the water for a distance. Once in the air they fly a straight line to their destination.
Females like this one make good use of their long body toting their ducklings around after they hatch.
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.
Macro Mondays -- "Phobia"
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. 50222
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’.

Monday morning numbers...
You will sing it when you read it and it will be in your head for a while :-)
I bought this Calculator Cheap on the internet ........when I recieved it the Numbers just don't add up !!
( Keyboard on calculator is 7cm x 7cm fullfilling MM requirements )
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.
They are everywhere these days.
Ils sont partout ces jours-ci
Están en todas partes en estos días

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
De Distelvlinder is vooral bekend als trekvlinder die in sterk wisselende aantallen passeert, nou dat doen ze hier ,ze zijn er in grote aantallen :-))
------------------------------------------
The Thistle butterfly (painted lady) is mainly known as a migratory butterfly that passes in widely varying numbers, well they do that here, they are there in large numbers :-))
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!

I have chosen this sixty year old barometer for Macro Mondays theme; "numbers". It is a desktop model, in a solid mahogany case, and it is just as accurate as todays modern digital versions.
HMM!
This photo is nearly organic :). I took it RAW so it naturally came trough some editing but I didn't do anything distinct with it, just slightly tuned the colour and the light balances. Nevertheless it looks like a HDR image, why? I think the reasons are the streetlamp light and especially the thin layer of snow which lies on all the surfaces, windows, sails, booms and boards.
The red series of numbers in the background is a work of environmental city art. It's maybe the most mainline landmark in Turku city. It looks pretty tiny here but actually it's quite large scale stuff, it has been fixed on the side of the smokestack of a power plant. The name of the work is "Fibonacci Sequence 1–55". It has been innovated and designeg by a famous italian artist Mario Merz.
Here is some information about the fibonacci sequence in mathematics. With these numbers we dance around the golden ratio, which is a very important variable in art and photography, maybe the most important.
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."
