Yellow

Hello #yellow :-)

Yellow, one of the primary colors, has a rich and fascinating history that spans many centuries and cultures. The word “yellow” is believed to have originated from the Old English word “geolu” which meant “bright” or “shining”. In ancient times, the color yellow was often associated with the sun, warmth, and brightness, and was used in art, literature, and religion to convey these concepts. In…

#391: the word yellow comes from the old english geolu, which itself comes from proto-germanic gelwaz. gelwaz is also the source of Gelb (yellow in german), Gul (yellow in swedish) and Geel (yellow in dutch). gelwaz is thought to come from the Proto-Indo-European root (PIE as people call it, apparently), Ghel, meaning "to shine". ghel also is thought to have formed the words chloride, glint, gloat, gold, melancholy, cholera and arsenic. nice.

yellow

The bright, soulful, and cautious color of yellow is personally my favorite of all color hues. Yellow is a primary color, which is a great mixture of orange and green. Standing for optimism, joy, and enlighten but also for deception and betrayal. Yellow is also known for the color of the sun as well as shades of yellow, during sunset. Yellow comes from an Old English word, Geolu, which means shine or glisten. Representing sunshine with the knowledge of flourishing living creatures, but also documenting the maturity with autumn and fall. The sun was the most important religious symbol of God throughout many cultures. Yellow can also be directed as a color of caution, many parking signs throughout our everyday routes contain a certain yellow to help us identify what it is we need to watch out for. Further, yellow lights on our cars symbol which way you intend to go or tell us to slow down or watch for the right or left side of us. In ancient times, yellow pigment was named Ochre, which was considered to be the oldest pigment by humans. Egyptians of the ancient world would use this as a mineral orpiment for a brighter yellow than yellow ochre. Which was considered to be a muggier yellow. A while later they imported an Indian yellow while rediscovering the method for the production of Naples yellow, commonly used by Egyptians. Indian Yellow was also created by a process that restricted cows onto a diet of only mango leaves, almost leaving them to starve. Some say since the beginning, yellow was associated with rebirth and knowledge. It motivates unique thoughts and inquisitiveness; researchers also believe it increases self-esteem and strengthens your overall health. Like stated before, yellow is a season's favorite, it invites renewal and harmony within the growth of nature. New crops, new seasons, new daylight hours yellow invites the process of rejuvenation. Spiritually, yellow dominates the religious side of things representing the color of light and divinity but also the holiness within certain religions like Christianity. Many paintings, especially during the Renaissance era tend to incorporate many different shades of yellow in a godly way. Through modern day design though, Yellow is a representation of positivity and happiness since many people associate the sun with happiness thus yellow is considered to create happiness to the audience. It can be used to boost curiosity, confidence, and improve learning. Commonly, yellow can also cause anxiety and destructive feelings that come with warning signs or certain dangerous animals. Considerably, yellow can still provide a sense of emergency for the certain opponent.

Les Catacombes de Paris

Last week, I was on a Fancy Adult Business Trip in Paris, France. I had a little time to explore the city before Important Business meetings, so I did something I never thought I would get a chance to do: Visit the Catacombs.

A long, long time ago, back when the educational TV channels actually had… educational programming (yes, I’m that old)… I watched a show that featured the amazing tunnels dug under the city of Paris, which had been stacked to the ceiling with the skeletons of 6 million people. The short version of the story is: Paris has been a big city for a long time, and several centuries ago, funerary practices were not very… hygienic. A few of the cemeteries became public health hazards, so beginning in the late 1700’s, the city systematically emptied every single cemetery and reinterred the bones in the abandoned quarry tunnels. And instead of just throwing all the bones in, the “architect” of the project laid the bones to rest in beautiful arrangements that honored the lives of the people who were moved. The bones are grouped together by the cemetery they were from, or later by which the battle of the French Revolution they died in.

Amazing! But I was a poor kid, we never went on vacations, and although I had big plans for the future (I was going to go to college!), I grew up knowing that people like me didn’t get to travel so the best I could do was just read every book I could get my hands on. But I seriously lucked out, and 25 years later, not only did I get to go to Paris, my work was paying for the entire trip. !  So, to the Catacombs!

It was amazing. The first 1/3 of the tunnels was just getting down. The cramped spiral staircase seemed to go on forever. Then you went down a very narrow cramped tunnel sparsely lit with old-timey lamps. That photo above should give you an idea of how cramped they were. Those shadowy figures are humans. This is definitely not an activity for somebody with claustrophobia.

Anyway, you may be wondering: Wait, aren’t you a nature blog? Why are you talking about this here???

Well. Thing is, nature happens even in the strangest, most artificial environments. When you put skeletons in human-made caves and then leave them for a few hundred years, interesting things start to happen.

-> Warning: photos beyond the cut include human remains (skeletons)

The tunnels were dug into the limestone bedrock under the city, beginning around the year 1300, and were used as a quarry for building materials. The floor and ceiling are limestone. Although the tunnels were dug by humans, they function exactly like a natural cave. I’m from Texas, another place with a limestone foundation (and *lots* of caves). The Catacombs are 20 meters underground (65 feet), and when you’re that far underground, you may think you are protected from the rain, especially after standing in line for two hours in it. You’d be mistaken. In the photo above, look at the path. The darker edges are wet.

Limestone is primarily calcium carbonate. If you have hard water, you are likely familiar with it. The white residue it leaves behind are dissolved minerals from limestone—and you can see that same residue on the bones in the photo above. In some parts of the Catacombs, the bones were glittering from crystals that had started to grow on them, and they were beautiful.

If you’re familiar with what happens when you add water to caves, you shouldn’t be at all surprised to learn that baby stalactites are forming above the bones in some areas (see below). Stalactites take thousands of years to form. One estimate I looked up said they grow less than 10 cm (just under 4 inches) in 1,000 years. If this section of the tunnel dates back to 1400, that would make these stalactites about 600 years old.

But enough about geology, right? You want to see bugs, why else would you be on my blog? I also wanted to see bugs, but I was not expecting them, and I was a little pessimistic after getting stranded in Pittsburgh, meaning I missed not only my one free day in Paris, but a chance to see a friend who moved abroad a million years ago and currently lives in Germany. While I stood in line for two hours, she had started posting her photos from the day before when she went to the Catacombs without me, so I got to see her photos of the moss growing on the rocks and her comment, “Life finds a way.”

And since I am the iNat fanatic that I am, I thought, “hmmmm I’ll bet nobody else has posted iNat observations from the Catacombs…” so I paid attention to green stuff growing so I could get a couple fun photos of moss.

The first bits of green I saw was this–it appears to be green algae [link to iNat] growing on the bones, but I am not an algae expert. Then, aha! The Moss!

A beautiful, luscious, gorgeous bed of moss [link to iNat]. Perfect. I love it. Yes, life does indeed find a way. This part of the tunnels had moss in several spots, so I hung around getting a good view of it. Then, wait, who is this!?

!!! An Isopod !!! [link to iNat] Guys, I love isopods. I love isopods so much, when I saw that in Japan, you can get an iPhone case shaped like an isopod, I dropped everything and ordered one, even though it meant I’d have to upgrade my phone and I hate upgrading my technology because I’m a dinosaur. But here they were! Yes, they. There were three in the first area I saw them. In the photo above, you can see little “chocolate” sprinkles on the rock. These babies are having a nice moss feast! The first photo of this post was on this rock face as well. I was so happy. Look at these cuties!

So we have all this algae and moss, with fat happy isopods eating it to their hearts’ content. Clearly, there was plenty of moss to go around, so what was keeping the isopod numbers in check?

I’ll give you a hint:

These guys. There were cellar and cave spiders [link to iNat] throughout the tunnels, always in close proximity to the isopods. It was fairly predictable, too. If I saw a patch of fuzzy green stuff, I could reliably find an isopod and a spider.

There are hundreds of miles of tunnels under Paris, so extensive that holding 6 million skeletons leaves most of the network completely empty. The public tour goes through only a tiny fraction of the tunnels holding human remains. Just imagine what other food webs developed in the ~700 years since these tunnels were created, which humans have never witnessed.

As I was walking towards the spiral staircase back up (it was long), I was granted a fond farewell by this lovely moth who would not hold still:

It was late, The moon was high in the sky, He could see it from the living room window, It seemed to him the only two occupants of the home still awake (As far as he knew-) were him and clover. He could never get her to go to sleep like kharon could, But it was up to him tonight, So even now. He cradled the baby treecko against his chest so they could rest comfortably against his body, Right on his heartbeat, A gentle rhythm in his chest as he softly cooed at her. A vague hope she’d fall asleep quickly.

The fussing against him was a sign against this however. (No crying thankfully-)

So he sat down, Situating himself in a chair for the long haul as he rubbed a hand over her back, patting and softly trying to sooth her squirming form. (He always wondered why she was so fitful-), He was soft in his efforts, giving gentle. Low clicking sounds in the back of his throat like one would to a baby lugia to sooth them, He knew she wasn’t a lugia but why not try?

It never worked

Finally, he decided to try what he’d heard kharon doing once, He thought for a few moments before he begun to sing. A soft lullaby, He didn’t want to wake anyone up after all.

“êow goldmæstling mîn syndrig sunnanscîma scîran me êadhrêðig weorðian geolu gm geolwes n¯ænig pro oncunnan, fæg micel yfel êst êow ðicgan mîn sunnanscîma âwegêade.” "wîde−ferhð lofian tôdêman êower pýcan êow uppe ðanêcan sê weder h¯æwen thither sê simbel bewitan wægn sunnanscîma âdôn..~" To anyone listening in, It was but gently crooned gibberish, A language long gone to the world yet. Still special to bede, Pink eyes were fluttering, Softly. A yawn escaped, Gentle hands clinging to his arm, His hand like a branch for support. She was falling asleep and soon the only sounds she gave were tiny snorts of air, Soft snuffles against his chest, Seeking his warmth. 

He was content to sleep in that chair, He wasn’t going to ruin this.

“I love you my little clover..”
