Thank you for a great intro @HermesEchidna-- can't think of a better scarfie to lead us through the week-- looking forward to the sub themes and great photo/examples/information sure to come our way...Good morning!
Thank you @Cookiefiend for leading us through a rainbow tinted week! And to all of you who shared, commented on and reacted on our shared colorful passion.
I have yet to put on my sotd which will be a crossover but am now introducing
Critters: find the small animals roaming our scarves
I am happy and honored to be hosting this week with a theme that was one of the reasons I became addicted to H scarves: the biodiversity!
We all know and love the horses and the Big cats, even a Giant turkey, a t-rex and an Elephant now and then, but as in Nature it is not always the megafauna which plays the most significant role in the ecosystem.
So I dedicate this week to the smaller creatures - the multitudes of little critters roaming our scarves - sometime as the main feature, sometimes hidden in the design. Let us go on a scarf safari - not with guns, but with magnifying glasses and keen eyes!
I have thought a bit about subthemes for this, and during the week I will each day invite you to look for new categories of tiny Life: for rare and even extint animals, for insects and other invertebrates, for cute little furry friends, for those hiding and those escaping from the designs.
But for todays intro I will just mention the Giant elephants in the room - the three designers who probably have put more biodiversity into H scarves than any others and have distinct naturalistic styles: Robert Dallet, Kermit Oliver and Alice Shirley. They have all created designs which almost encyclopidecal (dont know if that is used or spelled correct) records the wildlife of a specific place or country. From the precious Life of the mediterranean and to the Canadian or Texan Wildlife, from the four seasons to wild Singapore and great plaines and from Equateur to the English countryside. In many of these great scarves there are large iconic species, but they also have so many small, even humble, species which adds to the life-like Nature and the completeness of the designs. I find myself looking at these scarves and Think : I like it all, but that they put that animal in there is a testament to both knowledge, artistry and sometimes even humour.

So go and have a look at your scarves by these Big Three and find the tiny creatures, and let us admire the smallest things in the biggest sceneries.
( and no. I did not mention Animapolis - but I will. It is almost a category of its own. Racoon says aye!)

Disclaimer : I am travelling this week with a small set of scarves so most pictures will be from the dusty archive.
But: all my travelling companions are narturalists, among them a zoologist specializing in mammals, so if you have an unknown critter on you scarf, now is the time to get it specified! - just post a picture!!!
For example I will get these two kinds of monkeys identified asap

Wish you a all a day full of life!!
Thank you all @CoastalCouture, @Redbirdhermes, @Maedi and @redheaddem! I was not looking for that GT at all-- I love the 90 DF I have but I was curious to try it on in store to see how it looked and then boom. I recommend it as a happy spring and summer blue/green combo. Very fresh and the graphic border is wonderful...
Oh, my goodness. I am swoooooooooooning over your styling of the Orto. I will probably spend all morning dreaming of a coral torsade to pair with mine @Croisette7. And thank you. I am overjoyed with the Charmes, and thrilled to be your twin. The GT Passades was impossible to resist! I am so happy you like it.
Stunning and so beautiful with your pendant especially -- the perfect pairing @darkstar66. I copied and showed your photo to my sister, who is your and @Croisette7's twin!
A wonderful group of Appaloosas @Redbirdhermes -- and I totally agree with your observation about collecting in the aftermarket. I have many I would not have chosen in season but am happy to have added later!
What a delightful introduction to Small Animals Week, @HermesEchidna. Dallet, Oliver, and Shirley are among my most collected designers. I also love a great detective search.
I'm crossing over weeks with my very first Hermes scarf.
I adore all the animals on this vintage Equateur, but especially the birds.
Equateur, with its deep red border and the bright rainbow colored birds, is my scarf of the day.

Good morning and happy Sunday, dear Scarfies. Hummingbirds are little creatures! The bird is not found on the scarf I paired with my sweater, but other small creatures are there-- goldfish and birds on land and in the sky...
For those of you curious about my sweater, the founders of the company Minnie Rose each associated their mothers with the spirit of hummingbirds and designed this in their honor. My own dearly departed mother also loved hummingbirds and also succumbed to cancer so I bought this in her memory. The sweater's story resonated with me deeply: "In many cultures, not only are hummingbirds considered a sign that the spirit of a loved one who has passed may be near, but they embody a myriad of positive qualities and serve as potent symbols of inspiration." We have hummingbirds at our feeders every year and they never fail to bring me joy.

This Equateur is very beautiful @Redbirdhermes-- especially with your sweater...
Thank you very much, LKB. Yes, the pendant is a beautiful "coincidence", when I bought it some time ago I didn't think of FP, I simply thought it was quite pleasant.
Wonderful memories and an exquisite combination, thank you, LKB, for sharing with us.
The red hem here is ingenious. You look beautiful.
Such a beautiful scarf and the dark blue background is pretty unique among h colors.
How absolutely darling in sentiment and beauty. If I weren’t your twin on this scarf, I would have a stroke urge to look forward it. I just refilled my hummingbird feeders. They’re now here year-round.
Thank you, my dear Orto-twin! ... how nice to hear your sister is our FP triplet!
I love your sentimental post, LKB! Your hummingbird sweater is beyond beautiful.
Excellent with that red border, love it Redbird!
Hello, twin
I had this laid out for tomorrow!Great job with the flat pic, by the way. I struggle to get a clear picture of a 90 silk flat without finding something tall to stand on!
