Odd numbers.
(Especially the number 3.)
When decorating.
When composing a picture (rule-of-thirds)
The number of candies my daughter would hold up her fingers and request when she was a toddler;
or the number of days my son announced to the doctor's waiting room
"it will be out in 3 days!", holding up his tiny fingers for emphasis (referring to the marble he swallowed).
The "acceptable" number of children - 3 - no biggie, but with 4 suddenly you have a "large" family.

Generally the number of people in a "close" friendship: 3 = buddies; 4 = group; 5 = gang.
They say "three's a crowd" and yet it is so much more aesthetically pleasing.

I asked my son to count these "they've gone away, sorry, too late. May I see the flower ones please?" :)

I used to think everything had to be able to be paired, but odd numbers are so pleasing to the eye!
ReplyDeleteAnd so it is with the number three and the gardener...love your thoughts on the number three today!
ReplyDeleteYes, there is something about those odd numbers - they must cause tension, which always makes for something more interesting!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo - those birds are illuminated just right
Surely this is a site well worth seeing.
ReplyDeleteLovely birds on a wire...Yes, I always seem to group things in three's. It just seems to be a pleasing number. But as for swallowing marbles - I think one should be sufficient. Just sayin'. xo Karen
ReplyDeleteThree is actually my favorite number! cute snap and post Nicki.
ReplyDeleteOne of the cardinal rules. But sometimes it's nice to break that rule, too, isn't it? {Just so you keep it an odd number!}
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your musings re: the #3. =)
