Mellow Yellow/Macro Monday

The masterpiece should appear as the flower to the
painter—perfect in its bud as in its bloom—with no
reason to explain its presence—no mission to fulfill . . .
— James McNeill Whistler

  2. Rose color symbolism:

    Yellow:

    Joy, Gladness, Friendship, Delight, Promise of a new beginning, Welcome Back, Remember Me, Jealousy,
    "I care."


    You got me on all of them. I sure wish I could wield a camera like you so, yes, even the “jealousy” to a degree.

  3. Someone really needs to get around to inventing the high-tech version of scratch and smell. Meanwhile, I'll content myself with the magnificent visual you've provided, dear Alexa.
