Why I should always carry my camera...

Because sometimes it hails in June... while the sun is fully shining... and there's a rainbow (albeit, not a double rainbow).

Lo, How a Rose...

Thinking about pretty flowers and colour schemes.  And stepped into a rabbit hole.  Here I thought yellow roses meant "Friendship".  But actually something else entirely. 

From "Language of Roses and Rose Symbolism (The Meaning associated with Rose colors and other Rose symbols)" by Catherine Marien © LillysRoseGarden.com. Reproduction Prohibited.

"Yellow roses express jealousy and infidelity. They may also evoke a finishing love. According to the legend, the Prophet Mohammed, while away fighting a war, was tormented by the idea that his wife, Aisha, was being unfaithful. He asked the archangel Gabriel for help. Gabriel suggested that when he returned home Mohammed should ask his wife to drop whatever she was carrying into the water as a test. If she was faithful, it would stay the same colour and prove her unconditional love. Mohammed finally returned from his battle and Aisha rushed to greet him, carrying a huge bouquet of red roses. She was surprised when he commanded her to drop them into the river, but obeyed and the roses turned saffron yellow. Eventually, Mohammed forgave his favorite wife but, for some, the yellow rose remains a symbol of infidelity."

I'm going to have do some thinking.
