Hermes Story is another of my favorite scarves for little critters - a bunny, a cat, a turtle and multiple types of birds and monkeys. Today I’m featuring largely the butterflies, I suppose.
Thank you!Thank you so much EtsyBoss! It is such a beautiful scarf and so many marvelous cws - my noir/gris/marron is lovely too, but I am tempted by the lovely cream and red cw - @Croisette7 has... and others as well!
There is indeed dark green in the border - many lovely shades of green!
The light isn’t so good but you’ll still get the idea!
Beautiful, thank you for this!

My favourite colour, Jereni! ... beautiful!
My SOYE was Mythes et Metamorphoses by Annie Faivre. I saw @Cookiefiend model hers some years ago and fell in love with the design. This one popped up not long after and not having any maroon in my collection I thought I'd try it out. I found the little monkey in it and it's one of hers that is particularly full and well developed, and quite colorful! I don't get the impression she's based her "little monkey" on a specific species but rather a more generic / prototype monkey.
Rhesus macaque comes to mind, the favored species for lab studies, and thus one that is not ever likely to become an endangered species. However, among primates, so many are endangered. Current consensus has about 60% of monkeys and 100% of non-human apes as endangered, with many of them critically endangered, the highest level of conservation concern and most severely at risk of extinction.
There are a few other critters on this scarf. I found one I hadn't noticed before - a koala - an endangered species in Australia as of 2022.
Attempts to use a new scarf ring went so-so and I ended up switching to a different use case because my first tie didn't stay snug with the ring up by my shoulder. If any of you know where I could find a how to on the first one, I'd love that. I'm not sure what step I missed to not fully secure it. Perhaps if I had a parrot to hold it on my shoulder I'd be all set

Thank you @Lellabelle on both counts. I am always eyeing the scarf rings...
Answering in two parts @EtsyBoss! This one I showed today is cw 01 (twins with @Maedi). A few more photos in case it helps...Very beautiful colorway @LKBNOLA . I'm drawn to this one for the bee border but didn't like any of the colorways enough to pull the trigger. Do you know what colorway yours is? I'm also eyeing the one that is predominantly navy with touches of pink.
Bees seem to be in a precarious position so definitely worthy of the sub theme I think! After a quick check on Google, I learned there are at least two species of North American bees on the endangered list. The Xerxes Society for Invertebrate Conservation has some great info:
Want to Save the Bees? Focus on Habitat, Not Honey Bees
Keeping honey bee hives will not help the 3,600 bee species native to North America. In fact, it might do the opposite. The best solution to bee declines is to address underlying causes like habitat loss and pesticide use. Native flower gardens can support all bees.www.xerces.org
One of the things I learned about as part of my research in graduate school that touched upon the grooming of each other that bees do, is the colony collapse problem and the role that hygiene can play in disease management. While it was a tiny portion of my research, it prompted some practical insight into the things I can do as a gardener to help and not hinder bee health. Things like planting native flowers and not buying plants that have been treated insecticides, specifically neonicotinoids. Now in my present line of work, I encourage people to grow flowers that support pollinator habitat.
I agree completely with you about the bees and what we can do to prevent the problem. In our case, because we live within fifty yards from protected wetlands, the Conservation Department forbids us to plant anything other than native species. We are also quite particular about not using pesticides that interfere with pollinator habitats. It is one of the ways we try to keep our special corner of the world safe for us and the plants and animals who share the space with us. I love watching the bees in our garden!
Thank you @Cookiefiend! You inspired me with your scarf of yesterday to feature bees today! I love that we are double twins with our Tous les Bateaux, also!!! Your tie today is fantastic. This scarf is front of mine for me today as well because I am packing for a vacation to Turks and Caicos and was looking for a scarf with an iguana/lizard to honor one of their endangered animals, the Rock Iguana. This black one is on my packing list!
The most beautiful center on this lovely green Pytheas @Redbirdhermes!
Sooooo pretty as always @Jereni. This is such a marvelous cw. And thank you by the way: the knot is just the one you tie at the four corners-- not sure what it is called, but I like that it often features a part of a cw we don't always see, like the blues on my Objets.
It is a beautiful cw! And thank you as always for your informative posts regarding animals @EtsyBoss. About the CdA ring in the first knot, I find the H ring quite heavy (unlike the Mai Tai and other version) so I thread both tails through the ring rather than under as you have done. A slightly different look but the added fabric keeps the ring secure. So pull one tail down and through and then the other through in opposite direction. You can change up which tail goes underneath. Hope that helps!My SOYE was Mythes et Metamorphoses by Annie Faivre. I saw @Cookiefiend model hers some years ago and fell in love with the design.

Thank you twin!

I think @LKBNOLA 's idea is your best bet - and the perforated rings are much lighter as well - but a magnet is very helpful too!
(I'm using magnets today to keep the parrot on my shoulder
)The bees (especially these non-stinging types) are darling!Thank you @Lellabelle on both counts. I am always eyeing the scarf rings...

I love that you are working to keep your special corner safe, it means a lot to so many. I am allergic to bee stings and so I have a healthy respect for them - that said though - I still love them... when I come across them in the garden, I tell them I won't bother them and so far (and for a long time) I haven't been stung. I also love the sweet pictures you see of bees asleep in flowers - d'awwwwwww!!
Today I needed some Super-Human strength with Minuit au Faubourg on my neck for a difficult client meeting.
The meeting went well even though I only managed to show the Moulin Rouge and not the Eiffel Tower like I wanted to.
Loving this format (70) more and more.
No critters, except you count the giant flying horse aka Super H

I was lamenting that I could not find a koala on my Australia-themed scarf (I'll look again...) so it may mean that I need this one...My SOYE was Mythes et Metamorphoses by Annie Faivre.

Seeing the lyrebird showcased by @Cookiefiend on tous les bateaux, I think Aline Honoré must like them.
So I guess ACdlV has fauna from all over the word, since lyrebirds are Australian.
My blanc/rouge cw that I love and rarely see around!

Not a lot of rare critters hiding in my collection, though, upon close inspection, I found this one sitting boldly in the middle of the action of Hermes Story, the extremely uncommon, if not rare, "green tipped hare".
