Heard it for the first time...but a nice pic...

nice

Well, I've heard about first time too. Found it on one Russian web site, forgot to bookmark it, and when decided to post the picture wasn't able to find it again.

cool...

Good one...but i have a doubt whether its scientific or superstitious?

IMO would have been better with a live bird...but interesting shot never-the-less

ooooh really?

The snap is really nice....Too good image...

Well done ...

Great capture here!!!!

You guys are too nice! thanks!!

Why?

Thanks friiskiwi for attention. Honestly -- I don't know, but ask anyone with Russian "roots" they would tell you the same. To the person still alive you should put odd number of flowers in bouquet.

:S didn't know that...

Thanks.

O.k. I've had some spare time and did a search about this. Got curious myself. Bouquets must have an odd number of flowers. Thus, never give 4, 6, 8 flowers to a person. Explanation: bouquets with even numbers are for funeral ceremonies or cemeteries;http://traditionsacrosseurope.wordpress.com/2009/11/11/romanian-superstitions/
On one Russian forum somebody explained it as superstition probably coming from Japan, where numvber 4 is sound like "she" = death.

beautiful shot

Really great shot!
