(Day 25) - Knuckle Down

The phrase "knuckle down" means to get serious about a task. But I did you know that the term may be derived from the game of marbles. When shooting marbles, one puts their knuckles to the ground, getting ready for a serious knockout! :)

I'm also posting a photo of Mario from Super Mario Bros. because today is Mario Day (Get it? March 10...Mar.10...MAR10) :D

So clever of you to remember Mario and work him into this terrific photo!

[Nick]

Cute shot.

Who even works out that March 10 is Mario Day, lol!

Nice choice of coordinating marble colors with Mario’s outfit!

Never knew about Mario Day, this is a perfect shot to celebrate.

Fabulous colours. I hope you enjoyed your day Mario

[Margo]

Somehow I don't think he will manage these balls!!

[Guymundo]

Great creation and composition

[Gayle]

Love the bright colors and DOF! I had no idea there was such a thing as Mario Day. It's similar to Star Wars Day, May 4th. :-)

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Leila]

great shot!

[Shawna Schroeder]

My son would love this as a picture on his wall (although Luigi is his fav lol), great fun shot :)

@shawnas365 - What a nice thing to say! Thanks so very much! I like Luigi a lot too because my fav color is green. Thanks for all your wonderful comments Shawna.

[Chris Johnson]

@gaylewood - Yep yep it's very similar to Star Wars day, although I think Star Wars day is a lot bigger!

Mario! My doctor recently put me on "mushrooms" for immunity support (who knew that excessive crying leads to bronchitis?) But I thought about Mario and mushrooms and maybe I could turn into Mario if I ate enough.

@jyokota - Mushrooms can make him stronger and larger...not sure if you necessarily want that latter side-effect though. Hahaha. Joking aside, I hope the 'mushrooms' help and builds up your strength. Thanks for all the pleasant, really enjoyed reading them!
