Color Color Color Chameleon
Colors mean different things in different cultures.
Brides wear white wheres in China they wear red. We wear black to funerals and the Chinese white.
Flags use color as symbolic: yellow is money, blue for peace, green for agriculture, red for blood that was shed, a sun for power, or a crescent moon and stars.
Colors can represent emotions: red for passion or anger, blue for peace or calm, green for envy or jealousy, yellow for cowardice or happiness, orange for energy, white for purity.
There are seven colors in the rainbow and a rainbow is for hope.
There are seven chakras in the body to open for meditation.
We don't all see the same colors….
Dogs see blue gray and yellow.
Birds see more colors than humans, they have additional color cones and are sensitive to ultra violet light.
Again cats and humans are different.
Flowers also have a different color meaning. We post a lot of flowers here
Roses especially!
Post music on the color theme, flowers, images, movies….w
hat are your favorite colors? What colors are in your home, or do you wear?
Remember No politics here, no religious comments and all,comments based on respect for others.
Enjoy the discussion Lian.
It's gonna be a long hot summer!
What does summer mean to you?
Suddenly our summer is here, and in two days it's becoming hot!
I like the beginning of summer, but not when the temperatures go well over a hundred.
Summer makes me think of….
Luscious strawberries, fruits of the forest, melons, and peaches and cream.
We used to have barbecues by people's pools and picnics on the beach, but not since Covid.
Swimming in clear blue seas…but this year, we have warnings of poisonous sea snakes…ugh. We do usually have jellyfish too, and sharks in some areas. But I've never seen sea snakes before.
I love to watch people learning to do water sports and usually grab a sunbed on a private hotel beach, but this year seems to have hundreds of tourists coming for the sunshine. I like lonely beaches, just the sea and sand, shells, and rock pools.
What do you like to do in the summer?
I enjoy long summer evenings in restaurants or bars or coffee bars by the sea, watching the sun sink into the sea from the sky.
I used to enjoy sailing when my friends had yachts, jumping into the cool deep blue sea.
Think I need a new swimsuit, as I've worn the same one for years. LOL
We also have a beautiful hotel in the capital with huge gardens, and sometimes we pay for a day around a pool by the sea, but that's rare these days.
Post memes, gifs, music, trailers, and stor
ies with a summer theme. Remember to respect all commenters, and most of all enjoy. No politics …no religious comments, please.

Stop the world…I want to get off
For many years before starting work, I used to enjoy reading the news.
I loved the feel of the crisp black and white print, the colourful pictures, news items, jokes, catching up with film stars, money pages, and problem pages. Theatre, movies.
However, I haven’t bought a paper in years now. Watch repeat movies on tv…rarely go to the theatre.
The daily ritual of reading the news continues….with either dread, horror or some boredom.
Usually, I skip many articles these days, especially the violence.
The news becomes more and more BIZARRE, coloured with oddity.
The world is becoming a difficult place to negotiate on a daily basis.
This week Karl Largerfelds's cat inherited 1.3 million dollars? Perhaps a loving home might be a better inheritance for a family pet.
A person was dismissed from work for considering marriage should be between a male and a female. What’s odd about that?
A star admitted to never reading a book! He would not be on my social list, books have always been essential to education and leisure time. Can we progress without knowledge? It used to be…kiss a frog, he may turn into a Prince. Now Charles will be King.
What are your thoughts on the above?
Post memes, gifs, music, thoughts, trai
lers….Respect all commenters
Most of all, enjoy.
Let’s thank Kieran for his help with some technical problems too.

Fly High
Fly High
I’ve always loved old planes,especially the painted ones.plus the pretty pin ups that adorned the planes,am art form in itself.Why are modes of transport feminine? Now they are Trans…port.no gender.
People used to care for their planes and vintage cars,Flying was an art,and those magificent Men loved their flying machines,and vintage cars.
Now everything goes faster and faster,and few planes or cars have character.
Leonardo De Vinci was the first person to design a flying machine.Man has always dreamed of flying.
Icarus flew too near the sun and his waxen wings melted and he fell to earth.
Last week early one cold morning…somehow I always leave doors open to the garden,two little birds came into my room.They flew round a few times,investigated and were away.At Christmas a robin would visit several years in a row, come into my room totally unafraid.I crossed the courtyard and another sparrow followed me into the house.conclusion, they are hungry and nesting.Now they are flocking ito the garden and eating their was through my crumbly plum cake.I love the twitter and weetin when the food is put out.
Flying in small planes is fun,often used to before airways became commercial and flying no real fun any more.
Hang gliding and flying in the wind on currents of air looks fun! But one of my friends landed in the only tree for miles around and injured himself badly.Plus we have a lot of ravines and cliffs here….dangerous…oh amd sharks in the sea.
Many of my friends bungee jump,looks like a horror experience to me.
Musks super expensive rocket burst into flames.As much as I would love to land on the moon or Mars,the cost is prohibitive,and it would have to be safer.
The theme for today is flying,birds including pin ups.So post gifs, memes,trailers, videos,stories and music,to your hearts content.
No politics or religious comments…respect all commenters.Enjoy
Lian
