Thank you to all gracious hosts for making my Sunday mornings fun! as the first timer posting my sotd on this thread, I am very excited! and, hopefully, I am with today's theme. My sotd is Le Pegase d' Hermes au bloc 140 silk by Christian Renonciat, in blue azur/vert/rose. the original Le Pegase d' Hermes scarf design is described as "a mechanical construction, a tribute to Leonardo da Vinci and the dream of building a new word." In my mind it's a tribute to STEM theme not to mention, it's one of my favorite H scarf designs to date.

Beautiful choice for this week and welcome!!! What a great week to join in on!

As someone with a math and engineering background, I am particularly looking forward to this week. I don’t have many that fit this weeks theme but my laboratories du temps definitely does. Featuring everything from the Big Bang to space exploration.

It's perfect scarf1!

Awesome, Bunnycat, design and colour!
Thank you so much for kicking of last week, fun scarves were exactly what I needed.

De nada, SOTD is a fun "release" time for many of us, I think. And thank you!

My thoughts exactly, at first!

But I might run into a serious problem in the future, if I proceed with this.
DH is considering about buying a motorbike.
He can’t decide between a Harley/BMW/some Italian brand but he is telling me that he wants a silk scarf, if has a motorbike.
He want’s the skeleton with a hat.
He is obviously taking about cest la fete, here.
Could I be holding in my hands a future men’s scarf collector here?
Now what if it slips from my lips , that yaiks, Your cest la fete has dead flyes, when I sneekly try to borrow it?
Then I own him a scarf😆!!

Lol, I have one of these (a DH with a passion for bikes and a C’est la fete). Though he leans more towards collecting bikes, so I suspect my ‘forfeit’ would be larger 😂

For the record, a neck covering of some variety is smart, as it gets quite breezy, even with a full-faced helmet. Silk does the job wonderfully, and is usually tucked under the jacket so flies have never been a problem - just make sure you tie it very securely, as I’ve nearly lost one that came undone!

Mr Agrume definitely needs to read this blog, too. I managed to get one bonus scarf when he led me on an unexpectedly difficult (for me) mountain hike. Going back was no option, and only the thought of what scarf it would be kept me going.

Thank you, HermesEchidna, this is a wonderful introduction with perfect scarf illustration. This iPod is a great discovery! Looking forward very much to this week!

What a stunning view as an additional reward! What scarf did you choose to commemorate your achievement/survival, @Agrume ?

Needs to be a Scarf Bingo category @bunnycat! Amirite @Lellabelle? And oh, my. Pickles and Snickers need their own Adventure Book series...

Yes and yes!

Happy Sunday, Scarflandia! Huge thanks to @bunnycat for leading us through Fun Week while chasing cats, climbing trees and preparing for an arctic blast of weather! Always done with inimitable style and humor too. I was in the perfect place to end this week because "cheerful chaos" is the most fun and kind way to describe New Orleans-- "the city that care forgot" (a lot of other more essential things forgot it too but that shall remain unmentioned for the moment).
Thanks also to @HermesEchidna for leading us into STEMtation this week. By serendipity I am on theme with my SOYD. I wore Petit Duc to an annual January tradition of High Tea at the Windsor Court Hotel. Petit Duc is the carriage of our beloved Hermes and the scarf's full title is "Projet de Voiture Petit-duc Bateau" featuring a carriage anatomy graphic, handwritten text, lined background and other plans for its design.

scarf, high tea and fascinator all superb! I love that jacket - tell us more, please!

Wonderful intro @HermesEchidna

Going through YOSD I have more designs befitting arts & literature but when YOSD is as chock full as mine one is bound to find something thematically appropriate

From the beginning of modern technology to the present…

Hermes Electrique represents the lightbulb

And Galaxy represents space exploration

gah, I love Galaxy. It looks so great on you @Snausages! That raspberry hem…

Hello, twin! You beat me to it! Laboratoire is such a beauty in these blues and the design has so much of interest. It’s a cross-over for me with happy chaos, too!

What a beautiful blue on that! Is it a "blurple" shade or a deeper true blue?

Thank you for the kind comments on my latest scarves, and thank you @bunnycat for kicking off our scarf year with such fun scarves. Welcome to @HermesEchidna for your first, and hopefully not last, Scarf Hosting gig. You found such delightful examples of science and technology.

Exposition Universelle came along early in my Hermès scarf collecting career, and was a scarf design I simply had to have. Both DH and I have math and science backgrounds and the delightful inventions on EU are fun and captivating.

Is this yet another attempt to straighten the Leaning Tower of Pisa? The leaning tower has fascinated scientists for centuries. In addition, around 1590 Galileo dropped two cannonballs of different weights from the tower and demonstrated that their speed of descent was independent of mass.

Or, look at these displays about electricity and flight. Is that the future Flying Horse, version XXI?

Not to mention demonstrations of teleportation and planet creation which can be found on the scarf.

Exposition Universelle is my scarf of the day.

This is oh so beautiful. Love the little tid bits you provided. And you wear it so beautifully

How did I not know this came in purple?! Must. Have.

Whether it is purple or not depends on the light, the top, and the eye of the beholder. The listing for it said blue, but the pictures looked purple. When it arrived, I opened it in a low light room and said, "oh I guess it really is blue." Took it to better light, "oh maybe it is purple--not sure". When paired with true blue, it looks purple. This jacket is blue with a faint purplish undertone, so they blend, and to my eye, (not the camera) they looked sort of blue together. It is almost like a changeant. The camera sees it as more purple than it really is. This is over informing, but no one needs a scarf surprise.

Wow! That is amazing! Thanks. Both of our neckties are Annie F. Sort of interesting.

That is the question. I waxed on and on about that to @Lellabelle . "Blurple". You have solved the color id.

Thanks for a wonderful week of fun @bunnycat ! @HermesEchidna great intro and my “gears” are already turning to come up with scarves on theme. No pun intended!
This is an old pic but I plan to wear this shawl this week. Architect Nigel Peake’s geometric offering - Patchwork Horse.

Similar to the legendary Leonardo da Vinci, celebrated as one of history's greatest polymaths, 'Le Pégase d'Hermès' pays homage to his STEM genius. This scarf acts as a friendly bridge between art and science, embodying precision in both realms, just like da Vinci's work.
Now in its third appearance this scarf it's a perfect fit for our theme STEM Scarves:
