Definition of odd

1: differing markedly from the usual, ordinary, or accepted PECULIAR a very odd way to show gratitude

2a: not regular, expected, or planned; worked at odd jobs b: encountered or experienced from time to time OCCASIONAL manages to get in some reading at odd moments 3a: being without a corresponding (see CORRESPONDING sense 1) mate; an odd shoe

3: left over after others are paired or grouped; came without his wife and thus turned out to be the odd guest at the party (2): separated from a set or series; had in his possession only two or three odd volumes of the original 12-volume set

4a: being any of the integers (such as −3, −1, +1, and +3) that are not divisible by two without leaving a remainder b: marked by an odd number of units needed; two odd-length boards, one of three feet and one of five feet

My first odd square is a peculiar sight – colourful flowers coming from the snow. Of course they are fake flowers. We don’t get flowers in February in Canada.

After closing down because of COVID restrictions the Centennial Park Conservatory reopened yesterday. What a wonderful time just browsing and taking photos of these beautiful flowers.

Thursday Trios – January 27, 2022

….another late post

All the days seem to run into each other and there are times when I literally forget what day of the week it is. I don’t think it’s an age thing but more of a COVID reality and winter blues combination. I’ve found it difficult to get out of the house to take photos and when I do finally get my coat on it’s already getting dark and the opportunity for taking photos of trios has diminished. Today’s trios are mostly from the archives but the three swans were captured by my camera earlier this week.

If you have trios you’d like to share, copy my link and paste it into your post and I’ll get a pingback. Have fun! Carol
