A Suffusion of Yellow (Copyright © 2005 B Kahuna)
INVERNESS-SHIRE, Scotland -- Suspected members of the Asteraceae (daisy) family in bloom at a stop along the A82.
Fans of the late Douglas Adams will remember the expression A Suffusion of Yellow from The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul. In the book, this is how Dirk Gently's I Ching calculator evaluated any arithmetic expression resulting in a number greater than four. So, while 2 + 2 = 4, 3 + 2 = "A Suffusion of Yellow". A simulation of the calculator can be found here.
Captured on 12th September 2005 with a Sony CyberShot DSC-V1 on aperture priority (f/2.8) and a resultant shutter speed of a millisecond.

ARGHHHH! There's a SPIDER! :O
A spider? X-(
Indeed a specimen of the Araneae order is present at the Top-Left corner of the capture!
I knew it! You have no idea what to do with a camera do you? You merely point-n-shoot! :| X-(
The flowers are the subject of this photograph, not extraneous members of the Araneae order. If you persist in "crying spider," you'll end up the same way as one L M Muffet, inclusive of tuffet X-(
Hmmm... Will Curds and Whey be served?
You'll be crying over spilt dairy products very soon X-(
