"Silverfish!" cried Tweety Pi. "An anagram of 'shrivels if'!"

@ Silver Abstract
"Let's relax with the crossword again!" said Bobby. "'Silver not in front of idle rodent'. Gosh. It's a tricky one, isn't it, Arora?"
They brooded over it for some time. Then Arora said, "Hey, look at that exhibit! There's the answer—agouti! 'Silver' in a crossword is usually the chemical symbol, Ag. Not in is 'out'. Front of idle is 'i' and Bob's your uncle!"
Silver Abstract
Only your imagination limits what this could be!

@ Silver Rose
Arora and Bobby were entranced on reaching this exhibit and eagerly posed for a picture standing on either side!

This is probably a camera effect, but it gives the rose a cool, distinctive beauty that sets it apart from the normal colour. Dried flowers are always rendered more beautiful when sprayed with silver paint, for example, for Christmas decorations. It is like a fresh fall of snow over a landscape, which beautifies the scene in every case!

@ Baroque Concert Room
"Just listen to this, TØSEN!
Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog.
Isn't that lovely?" "Who wrote that, Arora?"
"It was Walter de la Mare."
Baroque Concert Room
This beautiful room in the baroque style is just the place for an evening soirée with soloists singing along to the the pianoforte. With the heavy curtains drawn against the evening cold and dark and the candles lit in the ornate sconces, it would be a memorable night!

@ Silver Flowers
"Perhaps one more crossword clue before we tackle the rest of the exhibition, Radar! How about this one: 'Silver-mounted mask-wearer', (4,6). Hmm."
"Simples! It's the Lone Ranger, of course," declared Radar. "C'mon, Arora, back to the gallery!"

Sometimes the beauty is in the absence of color, enjoying the intricate designs.

Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;

Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog.
Isn't that lovely?" "Who wrote that, Arora?"
"It was Walter de la Mare."
Silver Tabby Cat
What a cutie-pie! Tabbies are the most common domestic cats in the world. Their coat pattern offers excellent camouflage and improved survival chances, which is probably why it was sported by the first domesticated cats. One of the distinctive features shared by all tabby cats is the pronounced M on their foreheads. This characteristic M is part of their tabby pattern and is passed down genetically.
