Cartography is the study and practice of making and using maps. Cartography combines science, aesthetics, and technique to build on the premise that reality (or an imagined reality) can be modeled in ways that communicate spatial information effectively. (Thanks Wikipedia).
My scarf of the day is Planifleurs. I particularly love this scarf because it reminds me of wonderful trips I've taken both in the US and abroad. When I travel for work or with DH, I almost always plan trips around gardens to visit, even in the winter. I think Christine Henry did a great job charting her planisphere and bringing her aesthetic to this fabulous map!
I didn't do this lovely scarf any favors today with my choice of top, but my first Zoom call was at 6am, so I was proud of myself for getting up and getting dressed. Now that I think about it, I can tie this scarf in to my early call today since I spoke with colleagues from Japan, India, Ireland, and the US!

Gorgeous! I love this Planifleurs.
Another epic black and white scarf! I must learn this knot.
Gosh this is pretty! Such nice colors!
A so so short post. As You all say…finally! 🤣. It would be much shorter without the science tie to theme.
Appaloosa. A go-to of mine. A horse scarf ( like this gorgeous breed) will sometimes remind me of humans involvement in the reproduction of horse breeds, and our need and business practice to carry a horse’s pedigree through its progeny.
A veterinary reproductive specialist, is also called a theriogenologist ( thanks internet)

Beautiful and cozy! Somehow this pattern and colorway is just perfect for snow, I don’t know why.
Oh I really like this combo of colors. It reminds me of a maxi twilly or muffler that I’ve been looking at.
Beautiful acquisition! Congrats!
Congrats on all counts!
What great colors on that scarf! Is it a double-sided one?
That is an amazing story! Read it to DH and he found it to be very interesting. We are long time Star Trek fans.

Another colorway of Per Astra Ad Astra to add:
And another (less color-accurate!) colorway of Au Coeur de La Vie:
And to add my contribution to this week, with today’s SOTD, All Aboard! Steam engines are of course ‘science and stuff,’ but as a bonus the train driver is known as the “engineer!!!” (Might explain my confusion when Dad told me, “you should be an engineer.”)
Not sure who the designer on this scarf was, but clearly either (a) not familiar with how steam engines work, or (b) hates presents, because the fireman is clearly shoveling presents (from the tender - yep, that’s what it’s called!) into the engine to keep her fueled. Yikes!!!! 😬
Happy STEM week, fellow nerds!! 💕

Dropping in for a quick post today, will catch up with comments tomorrow. My SOTD is one that's already been shown but it's so lovely I hope you don't mind me showing it again.

Good morning!
The basis of natural history is classification and taxonomy. A system of ordering, making and understanding the world around us, and how everything is related.
Early classical, medieval and renaissance scolars made their own systems to classify and order their world, and depicted them in bestiariums and exhibited them in Cabinet of curiosities.
Virginie Jamin: Della Cavalleria Favolosa - designed as a mix of bestiarium and horse riding manual
Rosa Maria Unda Souki: Objects de Curiosite
Swedish naturalist Carl Linné - or Linnaeus - introduced a system of ordering Life on Earth in the 18th century. He created a system of families and species and nomenclature for all plants and animals known to him. Every single species got its own name, consisting of a genus’ name and a species name -
like Homo sapiens (this picture is from the web)
Giraffa camelopardalis
Or Meleagris gallopavo
This naming required systematics, and not least the collecting, of specimens for decription, classification and creating order in the understanding of the world. Linné’s world was based on a religious understanding of creation and hiearachi of Nature. A Dawinian concept of nature based on evolution and gradual change during huge timespans, did not exist for another 100 years, but Linné’s naming system worked just as well in that Scientific paradigm, and continue to be the basis for natural history and the study of living nature.
There are so many scarves with abundance of nature, and also a few with taxonomic Logic in them. We have collections of butterflies, other insects, funghi and birds. And also botanical scarves directly referencing classification like Index Palmarium and Bromeliaceae and individual flower species.
Katie Scott: Index Bromeliaceae
Farandole (Caty Latham), Champignons (Gavarni & de la Perriere), Insectes (Hugo Grygkar)
And L’Intrus by Antoine de Jaquelot even have all the bird’s names on it.
Other scarves show us the botanical gardens and greenhouses where botanists both before and after Linné collected and studied plants from all over the world.
Jardin d’hiver (Annie Faivre)
Jardin de Leïla (Francois Houtin)
And it was from breeding humble pea plants in his cloister garden that Gregor Mendel in the late 19th century discovered genetic inheritance, which gave support and renewed understanding of the mechanisms of evolution. Do we have any designs out there with peas or even DNA helixes on them?
And of course there are also designs with entire biotopes from equator to coral reels, deserts to jungles. Let us bring out the natural history and biodiversity of Our scarves!
wish you all a Day of Diversity!!

Ooops. I forgot my sotd 
Island biotope on Annie Faivre: Ile Deserte.
Have a great Day.

Yes it is, and has the price tag to show for it! 🙈😂
Quick snap on the train for SOTD - La Vallee de Cristal worn with Chaine d'Ancre scarf ring. I realise now it's not the best combination with the top, but so be it.
This evening I'm attending a tunnelling lecture we're hosting at work, so the crystal cave is right on theme and I hope will gain me some kudos with the geologists in the room.

Cosmographia Universalis is my SOTD. It features a number of engineering feats including a very elaborate wall with many bridges showcasing structural mechanics as well as the amazing geometry that is used to design pyramids.
Fabulous intro and perfect silk accompaniments; Well done!!!
Beautiful cw for you; your smile always does the work effortlessly but your CSGM today is an able assistant in enlivening your face. A lovely complexion helps too, I had one of those once
Thank you, Maedi!
Many thanks, fifi!
Fab la Voie and twins on L'Arbre!
Thank you, Jereni!
Great examples, Mary Ann G!
