Such a pretty scarf @LolaWhisp and inspired with the brooch.
Thank you @Croisette7! I try....
Mega-congratulations on your grail Wild Singapore @FA73 -- you are the envy of all Alice Shirley fans here! A great array of bio-diverse silks, too. Thank you for the extra Fisher reference-- I love his work and am your scarf sister!@HermesEchidna, I love, love your thorough, detailed, insightful, and enriching introductions on this week's theme. I thought I would have nothing to contribute as technology, engineering, and mathematics are foreign to me, but today's sub-theme, natural history, taxonomy, and biodiversity, are at the very center of my professional and personal life. I also very much enjoyed @EtsyBoss's display of primates on scarves (congratulations on your research and I bet we have a few acquaintances in common!).
Presenting yesterday's special (as in special edition!) scarf mail and my SOTD, a biological inventory of Singapore. I also have the blue one which I thought would be a forever placeholder because I never imagined getting my hand on the SE (now need to rehome because of the "no multiples" rule). This appeared at the Singapore branch of a French auction house over the holidays, a "buy-now" (below current retail price!!!) item, which sounded like "buy immediately" to me! So happy!

I do not have that many biodiversity scarves and I was trying to figure out why this morning. I think it is because I also opt for a more poetic, whimsical style, rather than a classic illustrative one. More Shirley than Dallet, more Pythéas than Shackleton (but I'd gladly accept both, thank you very much!). Below are my Bengal tiger, South African proteas, and various birds. I am sure we can identify the species by going through Jeff Fisher's book on birds, with scientific names and history.View attachment 5932647View attachment 5932658
This is a fabulous look! I love the whole outfit @Snausages. And thank you!
You look beautiful @Cookiefiend -- I hope you are feeling better!
A beautiful Sintra @Redbirdhermes!
Very lovely-- I am delighted to be twins on this beautiful shawl @Jereni!
Also a fellow birdwatcher @EtsyBoss-- we have some spectacular Cape Cod groups and I also loved joining in the Central Park sightings when I lived in Manhattan! Sisters on this beautiful beautiful design. Your correction and @HermesEchidna's hilarious pun cracked me up!
Here are 2 scarfs that fit the STEM theme: From the Mens Collex - the 1st is Memoire Vive. This scarf represents a circuit board with the carriage & driver illustrated with dots. This scarf is silk & cotton blend, which although it creases easily is very comfortable to wear. Pls excuse selfies as I have just started to do them, my phone is cheap (really only for emergencies) & am crap at selfies. Sorry I couldn't find a flat photo off the internet - the scarf would be a welcome addition for an IT professional or an electrical engineer (male or female)
Memoire Vive

Here is Des Chevaux Sous Le Capot, which according to Dr. Google translates as "Horses Under the Hood". It is full of mechanical gears & such. It is one of my favourite CSGMs and is atypical for the mens cashmere/silk as it is a 140 carre.

Amazing stories and beautiful silks to go with @shrpthorn -- I love your Des Chevaux Sous le Capot and you tied it so nicely, too. The necklace you brought from Namibia is stunning and what an interesting fact about the stone.Still on the Gelogie/Minerauz/Cristals theme ia Pierres et Mineraux from the archives:
The necklace is Dioptase Crystals (an extremely rare Copper cyclosilicate mineral) from Namibia.
Apparently Dioptase is a vibrant talisman of the heart that can help one relinquish extremely sensitive emotions such as grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and self-hate. I just thought it was beautiful when I bought it from a Swakopmund jewelry store

I hope you feel better -- the winter cold this year is a tough one AnnaE. Love your new Vallee!
I cannot stop laughing at this! Truly hilarious @HermesEchidna.Ah c’est la vie!
- trying out a french bird pun: would that be their Nom de Plume??
Coming in under the wire on the bio-diversity sub-theme of today! But just by coincidence I had recent scarf-friend mail so I am delighted to debut my new-to-me Fauna et Flore du Texas. I think the "turkey scarf" needs no introduction but here's its description: designed by Kermit Oliver, this scarf depicts the local flora and fauna of Texas. In the middle of the scarf is a large turkey surrounded in a circle by cactus leaves with animals interspersed. In each corner is a small circle, like a stylized nest, with different animals seen in their natural habits. (National Museum of African American Art and Culture). A very gobbledy thanks to @Snausages for serving this up to me... Plus this turkey dinner comes with a side of local bio-diversity: two deer imitating lawn statues in our front yard in early morning, wetlands and bay right behind them...

I can’t like this post enough - I adore birds… also every time I see this design, I wonder why I don’t have one.
Off to look!
Well girl - you look beautiful! I also love La Rosee!
I hope you’re feeling better!
Oooo good one and a beautiful scarf!

I am definitely improving, thank you for asking!
Congratulations - it’s gorgeous!
Love seeing the deer too - we’ve seen several lately… making me kinda glad Coco is at home… I love her but she barks a lot. Like a lot a lot!
Let me chime in. The nerd love is sweet and fun. The nerd development is interesting and educational. More please.
Well, this is just beautiful.
Bio-diversity you say? Well then, behold Au Cœur de la Vie
This scarf captures the essence of STEM's precise movements and infuses them with cheerfulness. It's a symbol of the magical fusion between creativity and knowledge, just like the alternator's conversion of mechanical energy into electrical power.

Beautiful! Scarf and smile!
Pégase with its Da Vinci’esque sketches is quite STEM-y I think…
Hello Scarflandia!
I'm hopelessly behind, on 37th page...
However, as it happens, I was wearing yesterday one of my only 2 scarves that fit this week's theme - Astrologie Nouvelle Maxi Twilly (design based on a calendar with astrological signs). So, I can at least share it - here it is:
Have a lovely Friday, everyone!

This cw lets the Flacons shine. Scarf mail is such fun.
Another cw of Hemispharium Coeli Boreale & another story of nerd scientist meets nerd engineer et voila - C'est L'Amour. Future DH & I are working for the summer in a Gov't lab. A group of summer students join up & take a road trip in 2 cars - one of which is DH's. The road trip involves a car ferry where people have to vacate their cars for the duration of the voyage. DH & I are on deck looking at a clear sky with brilliant stars - AND - DH knows the constellations! Nerd engineer is enraptured with his knowledge. So much so that the ferry docks & we are late returning to the cars. Folks in DH's car are impatiently waiting on the car deck for DH to return & unlock his vehicle....sheepish smiles from the 2 of us...
