Dropping in for a Visit

Today has been dull and damp.. we could do with a good fall of rain but so far that hasn't happened. One thing it is very mild and humid. 

When I looked at my shot I noticed somthing ligh brown and my first thought was I had something on my lens. On a closer look I noticed it was a little spider paying a visit to the Chaster Daisy. When I see this daisy, which has come out, you know its Christmas time. The flowers have very long stems and are used a lot in floral displays.

The flower symbolism associated with the daisy is purity, innocence, loyal love, beauty, patience and simplicity. Daisies are often depicted in meadows in Medieval paintings, also known as a "flowery mead." Daisies are believed to be more than 4,000 years old and hairpins decorated with daisies were found during the excavation of the Minoan Palace on the Island of Crete. Even further back, Egyptian ceramics were decorated with daisies. Daisies were used in Mary Gardens. The daisy is also symbolically connected to St. John.
