As White as Snow

After yesterdays wonderful adventure into the worldliness.. to day has been rather dull. I managed to catch up in a few things. It was lovely warm again after a heavy frost.

I didn't manage a walk today so my lovely white pansy in the garden is my blip for today. Thank you all very much for your kind comments, stars and hearts.. really lovely to receive. 

White is an achromatic colour, literally a "colour without colour", composed of a mixture of all frequencies of the light of the visible spectrum. It is one of the most common colours in nature, the colour of sunlight, snow, milk, Chalk, Limestone and other common minerals. In many cultures white represents or signifies purity, innocence, and light, and is the symbolic opposite of black, or darkness. According to surveys in Europe and the United States, white is the colour most often associated with perfection, the good, honesty, cleanliness, the beginning, the new, neutrality, and exactitude.

In ancient Egypt and ancient Rome, priestesses wore white as a symbol of purity, and Romans wore a white toga as a symbol of citizenship.

White was one of the first colours used by Palaeolithic artists; they used calcite or chalk, sometimes as a background, sometimes as a highlight, along with charcoal and red and yellow ochre in their vivid cave paintings.

In ancient Egypt, white was connected with the goddess Isis. The priests and priestesses of Isis dressed only in white linen, and it was used to wrap mummies
