Oh my it has been a month of Sundays since I had a PLATE post. For any new readers, I am a lover of words. NC seems to have a lot of vanity license plates which I used to write down to share at least once a week. Over the last year we haven't be out and about very much. I haven't had any to share; however, that is about to change. * by a plate means I can't figure out it's meaning. Photos today were taken at Shelley Lake and the around Lead Mine Lake neighborhood.

Good to see the Plates back!
ReplyDelete4. NO3PUTT* is most likely a number 3 golf putter.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely photo of the sun's reflection.
Interesting bunch of plates - amazing what people come up with!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Teddy and Mom
Number six read out phonetically reads like Fly HGV and HGV stands for Heavy Goods Vehicle in the UK and basically means Truck. It might be a British truck driver?

Your photos are so serene and gorgeous! Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteStunning photos, I'm new to your blog and love the plates, look forward to checking out your other posts, our number plates are so boring in the UK, basically you get what you're given, unless you pay for a personalised plate, but those are mahoosivly expensive and can be several thousands of pounds
ReplyDeleteNice to see the plates! I think there are some really clever ones. Your photos are always a treat. It looks so cool and peaceful in the woods and on the trails.

ReplyDeletewooohooooooooo me's here!!!
#4 - as mentioned above it relates to a golf putting trainer
#6 - That is a flight code for TUI, between Barcelona and Antwerp... but other than that...
#8 - a term that might be derogatory, or certainly egotistical. Read four definitions here.
#12 - mostly that comes up as a stock number for various products... OR a staffer at Medium dot com, whose name may turn out to be Carolyn Leno (her url byline is cleno1).
#13 - think "spy right"... They are drones.
#14 - Nine Dragons is a video game.
#15 - or they are a member of the British Womens Institute.
#18 - nope, it's a Star Wars reference - See here.
#19 - they promote or favour one or other of carwax, footwear or vitamins. Take your pick!
Oh that was fun to be back researching plates on a Sunday!!! YAM xx

Delete.... trying one last time on that last link!
DeleteI am histerical with laughter over Yams answer and answer and answer and answer... I hve yet to see a vanity plate here and you have so many interesting ones. Of course i rarely go out of the house and that could be the reason. also when I do got out I am driving because I refuse to ride with a wannabee Ernhardt behind the wheel. love the photos
ReplyDeleteWe love the pictures and always enjoy reading all those vanity plates. NO3PUTT is definitely related to golf. It's expected that it should only take 2 strokes to sink a putt so nobody wants to 3 putt.
ReplyDeleteThose were fun plates, we've missed them. NO3PUTT is a avid golfer. The purrfect goal is no more that 2 putts on any green, so no 3 putts!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason we haven't seen many personalized plates around here lately. Maybe because we haven't exactly been going anywhere except for grocery shopping or work.
ReplyDeleteIt was a surprise to see those ducks in your picture! LOL!
I am always amazed at how many unusual plates you find. XO
ReplyDeleteLots of water showing today :) Where's the fish? hahaha, ya know we luv fishing.
ReplyDeleteWe just love that NUAWLINS one, very clever!!! And your photo with the reflections is awesome.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Lightning, Misty, and Timber
Those are some cool license plates.
ReplyDeleteWhat peaceful photos....
ReplyDeleteWoW! Auntie Yam sure figured out those plates! I never would have. I love the serenity in the photos! Have a marvellously happy day!
ReplyDeleteOh, plates are back!!!! I loves them! And I loves that Auntie Yam ALWAYS has them figured out!! she is one smart cookie!!
ReplyDeleteButts, I loooooooves the photos most of all! OMD, they are FABulous!!!!
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
Dad tells us about fun plates he sees. Many times they are appropriate to the moment but not much else. Yeah his brain works that way
ReplyDeletePhillip D Plate indeed! That got me laughing!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy trying to figure out what the plates around here mean, too. Plates are often regional.
