Dear friends, thank you all for your views, comments and faves!
The symbolism of unity in the lily goes hand in hand with purity. The white variety of the Asiatic lily (lilium) is not called the Madonna lily for nothing; certainly in Christianity this is a reference to the virginity and purity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. You often see the flower in bridal bouquets and in religious expressions.

My neighbor's, and they do attract a lot of butterflies.
However, because of the special interest mosquitoes have on me, I could never think of sitting near them and waiting for that perfect butterfly moment. Just a few minutes out that evening, I was kissed multiple times.
Yes I could always apply repellent but nothing could completely stop their love for me!
On the storm front, Mr. Henri decided to take a further eastward path and gifting us with rains and mild wind.
All good here, and hope you are, too! :-)
I am not at all religious but I find rosaries so beautiful. I did try to shoot it in a respectful manner as I know this means a lot to a lot of people.
This image was taken for the themed group Smile on Saturday. This week's theme is "floriography" The information below about the Gerbera Daisy comes from the following website. I personally found it to be very interesting and plan to visit the site to read about other flower meanings.
The gerbera daisy is native to South Africa and lush with bright colors and a happy beauty about it. These daisies are strong perennial plants with colors from deepest red to warm yellows, creams, white and peach shades. Not surprisingly the Victorian meaning of the gerbera daisy is happiness. The gerbera daisy seems to hold its rays open to the world radiating pure happiness. Who wouldn’t get a smile on their face when presented with a bouquet of these beauties?
What Does the Gerbera Daisy Mean? Gerbera Daisies have several meanings, but all lean to happiness. The Egyptian meaning of gerberas is closeness to nature and devotion to the sun. The Celts believed that the gerbera would lessen the sorrows and stresses of everyday life. Any type of daisy equals the truth or happiness of children. It is thought that if someone gives a gift of covered gerbera daisies that it symbolizes they are hiding something.
Etymological Meaning of the Gerbera Flower: The Latin name for the gerbera daisy is Gerbera jamesonii and is part of the large Asteraceae family of flowers. These daisies were named after the German botanist and doctor Traugott Gerber. Also known as the Transvaal Daisy. A Scotsman, Robert Jameson found these beauties growing wild around the dug up gold mines he was in charge of in Transvaal, South Africa, and Mr. Jameson is credited with also discovering these flowers.
The symbolism of the gerbera daisy is the simple beauty of a very happy life. Throughout history, the gerbera daisy has symbolized the innocent hearts of children, attributed to the white gerbera, and, happiness and gratefulness for the life you have been given. The meaning is more energized than contentedness or mellowness. It is happiness that bubbles, fizzes, and pops with joyous surprises.
There is an energetic playfulness to these flowers, which is evident in all their radiant colors. These are not flowers for regrets. These flowers are a celebration of life!
Gerberas are available in rich reds, oranges, yellows peaches, creams, and white and there a few distinct meanings including...
orange: sunshine of life
Red: unconscious in love or fully immersed in love
White: is a symbol of purity or innocence, childlike
Pink: admiration, adoration, or high esteem
yellow: cheerfulness
“Love is like a rose. When pressed between two lifetimes, it will last forever.”
Smile On Saturday: "Floriography" theme, the language of flowers. The red rose means "I love you."

Just when i was getting tired of shooting orange larches against a flat blue sky a feather shaped cirrus cloud appeared in the sky above the Langkofel Group adding that little extra detail i needed so bad.
I knew about the meaning white feathers have in symbolism so i took it as a good sign and happily shot a bunch of pictures in panorama mode as the cloud quickly vanished to the east.
Last night, while processing this image, to my great surprise i found out that somebody had entered the field of view unnoticed and was innocently walking under the trees in front of me, he's visible in every frame... I admit this unwanted presence is a minor issue but what about that good sign??
HAPPY Thusday.... Stay safe and healthy.
The Easter Bunny is a folkloric figure and symbol of Easter, depicted as a rabbit bringing Easter eggs. Originating among German Lutherans, the "Easter Hare" originally played the role of a judge, evaluating whether children were good or disobedient in behavior at the start of the season of Eastertide.[1]
*****************************************************
Rabbits have been popular with many Japanese people, and their motif has been used on various items such as table wares, kimono, obi and general merchandise.
Rabbits only drive on forward and don’t step back, so they have been considered lucky as a symbol of advancement.
Germany, Berlin, Potsdamer Platz, Sony Centre, Dome, 6WS (slightly cut)
Back to the Berlin travelogue. The Sony centre is a Berlin building with a strong symbolic significance. It was created during the massive urban redevelopment after the fall of the Wall and the reunification of Berlin.
It was designed by Helmut Jahn (engineering: Ove Arup & Partners). Shown here is the dome of the building, shot from the terrace of a Brauhaus.
More information about the Sony Centre is here.
More symbolic architecture, but from an other era, built shortly after the creation of the Wall in the Hansa Vertel for the Interbau 57 exposition is here, here, here and here.
This is number 87 of the Berlin abum and 1022 of Minimalism Explicit Graphism.

Drawing on holographic paper. 2020
At the beginning, this drawing was made by me as a sketch for a painting. Later it seemed to me that he could live on its own.
I wanted to experiment with this image and my attempts gave me many variations of this work.
Sometimes we put our safety in concrete stuff because they seem strong and immutable, but the real strength that we have is precisely in the transformation, that smooth and tenuous line that connects us to who/what we really are.
The subtle effect of shapes on the associative understanding of the world has always fascinated me. The objective observer detects a symmetric space in the middle of an organ is. What identifies our subconscious?

Seems there is no hope for migrants and regugees to continue their journey north into Europe :((((((
Time for Europe to end the refugee shame!!
"People dying in their dozens – whether crammed into a truck or a ship, en route to seek safety or better lives – is a tragic indictment of European leaders’ failures to provide safe ways to reach Europe. That it is now happening on a daily basis is Europe’s collective shame."

The Mother of God with a baby is an icon created in 1884-1885 by Mykhailo Vrubel for the decoration of the iconostasis of St. Cyril's Church in Kyiv. Despite the fact that the image is made in accordance with all the canons of Orthodox iconography, art critics and artists note its expressiveness and unusualness. The faces of the Mother of God and the infant Christ were copied by Vrubel from the wife and youngest daughter of the art critic Adrian Prakhov*.
* Adrian Viktorovych Prakhov - art critic, archaeologist and art critic, professor of the Kyiv Imperial University of St. Volodymyr, leader of a group of artists (Viktor Vasnetsov, Mykhailo Vrubel, Mykhailo Nesterov, Pavlo Svedomskyi and Vilhelm Kotarbinskyi) who painted the Volodymyr Cathedral in 1884–1881
Богоматір з немовлям - ікона, створена в 1884-1885 роках Михайлом Врубелем для оформлення іконостасу Кирилівської церкви в Києві. Незважаючи на те, що образ виконаний згідно з усіма канонами православної іконографії, мистецтвознавці та художники відзначають його виразність та незвичайність. Лики Богородиці та Христа-немовля були списані Врубелем з дружини та молодшої доньки мистецтвознавця Адріана Прахова*.
* Адріан Вікторович Прахов – мистецтвознавець, археолог та художній критик, професор Київського Імператорського університету Святого Володимира, керівник групи художників (Віктор Васнєцов, Михайло Врубель, Михайло Нестеров, Павло Свєдомський та Вільгельм Котарбінський), яка здійснювала розпис Володимирського собору у 1884–1884 роках. Саме Адріан Прахов запросив молодого Михайла Врубеля у Киів і доручив йому написати 4 ікони для іконостасу Кирилівськоі церкви.
In einem asiatischen Garten haben Brücken immer auch eine Symbolik. Beim Überschreiten einer Brücke quert man nicht nur ein Gewässer, sondern man schließt Vergangenes ab und beginnt etwas Neues. Das Foto stammt aus dem Lotosgarten in Rothenburg o.T.
In an Asian garden bridges are always symbolic. When crossing a bridge, one not only crosses a river, but also concludes the past and starts something new. The photo was taken in the Lotosgarten in Rothenburg o. T.
No explanation needed. At least, I don't think so :-)

I mean that! And oh geez, I see the only spot I neglected to brush on Pete, today.

This a new version of a butterfly bush. I love this flower :-)
Name meaning:
The genus was named in honor of Adam Buddle (1662–1715), a botanist from England who was responsible for introducing it into England.
The common name “Butterfly Bush” was given because the flowers are very attractive to butterflies.
Buddleia symbolism:
Buddleia represents rebirth, resurrection, and a new beginning.

Ironically, I took this photo in the basement of the Huntingdon Council for the Arts in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Do you see in the mural on the wall a vignette of both the boat and the rainbow? Prior to the home of the CAH, it was the 12th Street Methodist Church.

One could talk about the different architecture styles between front and back. One could talk about all the details you see. The space between statues, some sort of hierarchy you see.

Last image from the special Cozy Nook settlement at the very tip of the south island of New Zealand. This caravan is likely well travelled but now having a long rest, judging by the look of it.
So symbolism in photography. We have seen it through the centuries with artists. It is interesting to see how people interpret the symbols artists put into their art.
This photo contains a few... I hope you enjoy the thought process behind it, and thank you to my dearest friend ~Christian~ for giving me the idea and then me putting my spin on it.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
