Sniffing Out The Letter N

avatar

This week the spotlight is on the letter N.

  • Nature

Nature was the first N word to come to mind. Nature is the the earth and whatever is natural on it. Birds, animals, plants and the trees are all part of nature.

Surrounded by the wonders of nature is the Great Blue Heron and his reflection. He is standing in the water by the Confederation Trail in Montague, PEI.

  • Number Nine

Number Nine is the highest of all the digital numbers. It is perceived in astrology as related to the sign of freedom loving Sagittarius. A cat is suppose to have nine lives. Therefore nine suggests to me the completion of life or purpose.

“Dressed to the Nines” is another use of the Nine. It’s an expression meaning looking top notch to the highest degree.

  • Newspaper

I think a lot of us will pick newspaper for one of the Ns.

The Eastern Graphic newspaper is published weekly and delivered to the mailbox once a week.

Many newspapers are being read on computers and the paper newspaper is fast becoming a thing of the past.

  • Newsprint

Newsprint is lower quality printing paper made from coarse wood pulp used mainly for newspapers and advertisement flyers.

  • Navy

Queen Charlotte Navy Reserve is a branch of the Royal Canadian Navy. The cannon is situated at the Charlottetown Waterfront.

  • Nose/Nostrils

The nose is the most prominent part of the face and comes in all different sizes and shapes. It houses the nostrils where air is received and expelled.

Our ability to smell is through the nose. The tiny hairs in the nose filter out dust and smoke before they reach the lungs.

Certain animals, such as the dog, have a much keener sense of smell than humans. The part of a dog’s brain devoted to analyzing smells is said to be about 40 times greater than humans. This ability is put to civic use by trained police dogs in sniffing out drugs and in ground searches.

Dogs, like these ones going for a walk with their owner, are always using their Noses to check out all the different scents around them.

Dogs know the world through their noses and can even pick up fear and sadness in their owners. They have been known to detect when their owners are about to have a life threatening health crisis. By sniffing people’s breath, body fluids or skin, a dog can be trained to identify a certain illness.

Well selected N words, Jo.
I was thinking about newspaper too, but I don't know if I will include it in my post. It seems ages ago when I used to read paper ones.

I learned new phrase - “Dressed to the Nines”. 😀

I’m always happy to post phrases that are new to you Neli. We still get one newspaper delivered to the mailbox weekly as Hubby likes a paper one. I tend to read most of the news on the internet.

You thought of the Noses too, Jo 😁 but you have found more nice Nose photos and tell us a lot of information, even about these annoying hairs 😉
A few days ago I have heard the word Nostrils for the first time - someone told me he had Nostrils like tunnels 🤣

Nature was also one of my first thoughts and I like your Blue Heron a lot - the image looks great with that reflection in the water. It looks like you took the photo early in the morning with still some morning mist over the water, cool 😃

Number Nine and Newspaper or Newsprint, why didn't I think of such? Maybe because I'm just too complicated and I have been so fixated on Neowise, who didn't want to get photographed by me and was hiding behind clouds every night ;)

Great #AlphabetHunt post, your hunt was very successful as always Jo 👍 😊

Hope you have a great day and weekend, dear Jo ☀️

Cheers and !BEER

Haha, nose hairs can be unsightly. I always notice them if folks don’t keep them trimmed....ugh!🤪

I captured the shot of the Heron one morning but not sure if it was a mist or just how the photo turned out.😀

It would have been great to get a shot of Neowise Johann. 💫 Apparently the comet was closest to the earth yesterday.

Thanks for your kind comments, the goodies, tip and rehive. Always appreciated Johann.🤗

Yeah these ugly Nose hair, I didn't have them when I was younger, but I always try to cut them ... I try if I don't forget 😉

It looks like mist - it is mist 🙂

I know, but it rained yesterday as well as it looks like rain today, but my app "clear outside" says there's a chance tomorrow night.
I'm working anyway over night, so I might find some time to have a look at the sky 🌠

You're always welcome, dear Jo, I hope you have a nice day 🙂

Hi Johann. You must be sleeping now if working at night. Is that a normal part of your job to stay overnight sometimes? I hope you got to see Neowise.

I’m happy you are keeping those nose hairs trimmed. 😀

Another nice day shaping up. It has been cooling down at night and nice for sleeping.

Have a wonderful day Johann.😊

Hi Jo,

I think I have written something wrong in my reply :) I am working today and tonight, 24 hours all in all, what means I started at 7:30 and I will go home tomorrow morning, but if all is quiet I should find some hours of sleep tonight. And if the sky is clear tonight I hope I can see Neowise from here.
Yes, it's a normal part of my job. I'm sorry, but I thought I have already told you that I work 2 or three times a month for 24 hours. It's just a kind of security job with monitors and such and I get additionally paid for that.

We had another rainy night and wet morning, but at midday the weather turned nice and I believe it will stay clear over night 😊

So, I'm working, but I hope you have a wonderful day and weekend, Jo 😊

Morning Johann. You never wrote anything wrong. I forgot you worked nights sometimes. Neowise was on the TV news last night.

It rained here last night and cooled off nicely. The day have been in the high 20s and too hot for a walk on the trail. I’ve been to Charlottetown and also met a few friends at the coffee shop.

Not much going on. Nothing new in the wildlife around here.

Have a wonderful Sunday Johann. 😊

Good morning Jo,

OK, I just don't remember all what I have told or not 😁 lol

Our night was clear, but in the north of our office there's a mountain range. It's not very high, but high enough that Neowise has been behind it the whole night long. I got outside at 2:30 in the morning, but I couldn't see the comet. Maybe tonight will be clear too, although it looks rainy. If it's clear I know a better place where I might have a chance to see it. That's the problem when you live between mountains - you cannot see the horizon like in flat lands 😉

As said, here it looks rainy and the temperatures are very nice. If it stays dry I might go for a walk in the afternoon, but I don't know yet, because I'm a bit tired from yesterday and a short night 😴

So, Peppy hasn't shown up? But I bet the raccoon was here for some cat food 🙂

Have a wonderful Sunday too, Jo ☀️

Cheers and !BEER

Good evening Johann. Perhaps you will see Neowise yet.💥 The comet is suppose to be visible for about 8 more days? It’s raining here now so I wouldn’t be able to see anything in the sky.

The mischievous raccoon is having free rein with Peppy not showing up. He eats all the food and carries on his way. I bring the hummingbird feeder in each evening.

Have a great week ahead Johann.😊

Thanks for the engage tokens and other goodies.🤗

Good morning Jo,

yes, I might see it today if the comet isn't too low over the horizon, because to the north there are so many mountains ... I'll see ;)

The raccoon isn't stupid and takes his chance while Peppy is on vacation 😉
Hopefully you don't forget to bring the feeder in.

I wish you a very nice day and a wonderful week, dear Jo ☀️

Morning Johann. I’m up early this morning and having a coffee. No reason, I just woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep. The fog was heavy but now starting to clear. The temp is predicted to go to 25C today. That’s nice weather. Vehicles were going slow on the highway but I see they are back to the usual speeding now the fog is lifting.

I’m hoping you get a shot of Neowise. Even if I see the comet, I don’t have a lens to capture it clearly.

Peppy is still absence. Peppy could have moved around looking for a mate. Or if female I would love to see Peppy return with little ones trailing behind.

Wishing you a blessed and wonderful week, Johann.😊

Hi Jo,

that happens to me quite often too. On working days I usually try to sleep on until it's time, but on weekends I often get up.

We have 25C and a cloudless sky. So we might have a clear night too. Now I can only hope that the spot I want to go tonight will be the right one to see the comet. Otherwise I'll try to drive higher up on a mountain at the weekend.

Wow, that would be cool if Peppy was female and would come back with a few little skunk babies 😁

I hope your day will be nice but not too hot for you 😊

I found the hunt for the letter N quite challenging, how could I forget about News that's playing such a big role at the moment! And I learned some interesting facts about the letter 9 as well! Wonderful N choices here @redheadpei.

An exceptional choice for this letter "N", newspapers never entered my mind which is quite forgetful having worked in chemicals for the paper trade, husband worked at newspaper print and subsequently print all his life.

Noses having a dog nose in my face daily, yikes another one I slipped up on! Nature the passion in most is being out in among the comings and goings of everything, yet evaded use... yup in a turmoil with all the nonsense we living with, mind goes blank some days!

Thanks for sharing exceptional photography and words Jo.
