This month we will be looking for White or Silver. White is technically not a colour, white light comprises all hues on the visible light spectrum. White is the lightest colour and is achromatic (having no hue). White is seen to be pure and clean. A wedding dress, the pure snow, a swan’s feather, fluffy clouds, milk and the Milky Way.
Silver is a precious metal, indicating wealth. “Born with a silver spoon in your mouth”. A cool colour. Sparkling silver water. The light of the moon. It represents feminine energy, pure, emotional and sensitive.
“Life is a train of moods
like a string of beads
and as we pass through them
they prove to be many-coloured lenses
which paint the world
their own hue,
and each shows only
what lies in its focus.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Starting out the white theme on the water today (from my trip):

Here’s my silver for today: https://anthropologist.wordpress.com/2021/06/08/life-in-colour-silver/
Thank you!
White is always white – and I too, am a lover of white. Here’s a clematis from my gagrden! https://lagottocattleya.wordpress.com/2021/06/08/life-in-colour-white/
Thank you A-C. I am very fond of clematis
Me too – but I don’t have more than this one! It is a hardy one and suitable for the climate. And I love it, the hanging flowers are not so big and glamourous as many clematis plants have.
