What is your "keeper" ratio?

What is your "keeper" ratio? I mean, of the total number of pictures you take, about how many are worth keeping? The first number represents the keepers.

I'm certainly a HIKER who takes pictures. I do not consider my self a photographer... I do enjoy landscapes, trees, and closeups of wildflowers and insects. (Wish butterflies would hold still longer!) I "keep" most of my digital pics on hard drive but must admit that the "best keepers" are on the order of 1:10.

Just curious... what's the >1:1 ratio???
Huh?

1:1 - I assume it means you keep every picture you take. I only delete pics that are out of focus/blurred, and that rarely happens on scenery pics. Mainly on closeups/macros. I'll delete the ones that don't have a sharp focus.
