With bright, striking colors, red dahlias symbolize perseverance and the ability to overcome. They serve as a reminder of the inner strength everyone possesses, even in dark times. Therefore, they're the perfect gift for someone who is going through a rough patch or recovering from an illness.
Dahlias have been a floral favourite for generations and it’s easy to see why. Their bright blooms, vast variation, and heart-warming history make these flowers special in many ways. Here are 17 facts about Dahlias.
1. There are currently 42 species of Dahlias
2. Dahlias were the favourite flower of the court of Queen Victoria and Marie Antoinette.
3. When the Dahlia was initially discovered, it was declared a vegetable, due to the fact that the tubers are edible. However, whilst the tubers were part of an Aztec diet, the Dahlia delicacy failed to take off in Europe.
4. Dahlias peak from Mid-Summer, which is later than a lot of other flowers making them a great way to extend your summer flower displays.
5. Dahlias can be found in almost any colour; however, you will not find a blue one. This is not due to a lack of trying; Breeders are still trying to discover a way of creating these blue blooms.
6. Not only is the Dahlia the National flower of Mexico, but it is also the official flower of both San Francisco and Seattle.
7. Depending on the variety, Dahlias can be dainty or daunting and can grow to be 35cm in diameter. Dwarf varieties are great for flower beds, whilst some giant varieties have been known to grow to over 6m tall.
8. The first Double Flower Dahlias varieties were bred in 1815.
9. The Dahlia was first recorded by Westerners back in 1615. Back then they were called by their original name which was Acoctli
10. Dahlias are officially part of the Asteraceae family. This flower family includes some favourites including Asters, Daisies. Sunflowers and Chrysanthemums. These flowers are classed as part of this family due to their astral appearance. The word Asteraeceae derives from the Greek word for star. This is a reference to flowers that resemble a star with surrounding rays.

My life trapped in between
A whisper and a scream
A suicide machine of my own making
You let it kill my brain
Like needles in my veins
Consumed in your own embrace
There's no escaping
My fix is the misery
Won't stop till the end of me
I can't feel anything
Killing me one breath at a time
Caught in your web I'm paralyzed
So go on and lay me down to rest
You make it painless, painless
I can't, I can't, I can't
I can't feel any pain
I can't, I can't, I can't
I wish for a year of 2021 full of positive energy, overcoming all these current adversities.

It expresses my feelings of determination that we shall overcome this Coronavirus pandemic, it is not easy now and will not be easy in the near future but with the will to band together with love we can overcome and move on. We are strong and must be patient while our scientists find a solution, we owe it to our children and grandchildren. Sending loving thoughts and friendship to you all.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
We traveled to Sequoia National Park in winter. It's a challenging time to visit this location, even when there isn't a federal government shutdown reducing the staff to only the essential rangers required for safety.
Unfortunately, though near the entrance the skies were relatively clear, and the temperatures were in the 50s, the conditions at elevation were thick fog with ice covered roads. Worse, many people were taking advantage of the free entry to the park and ignoring the posted signs for snow chains. So, getting to the Sequoia groves proved impossible, and we returned to our hotel, but not before seeing these beautiful gnarled old oak trees near the entrance in the soft warm setting sunlight.
Visit Sequoia National Park; but, be advised, winter travel can be difficult, and give the rangers their due - especially when they are working at skeleton levels with no pay during a government shutdown!

#Sound
For "Sound" it had to be my violin. If I don't play it (and I know I should, but, oh dear, the overcoming!), I can at least honour it with a bit of Flickr sunshine from time to time. Maybe I should work on my "scratch resitance" (sound-wise), it might help me to get over the first caterwauling hours of exercise after so many years of not practicing ;-)
This, you've guessed it, is a small part of the F hole, about 2 cm / 0,78 inches wide. I decided to go for a slightly more "obscure", kind of vague low key look with a very shallow DOF, because when it comes to music, sound in general, it often is not very clear at all why we like a song, a specific sound, or why we positively hate it. Sound, music moves us, either way.
I have a busy day today, so I can only stop by here today occasionally, I hope to catch up with you later! HMM, Everyone, and have a nice and safe week ahead!
Für das Thema "Sound" musste es meine Geige sein. Wenn ich sie schon nicht spiele (ich sollte, ich weiß, aber die Überwindung!), kann ich ihr wenigstens von Zeit zu Zeit ein wenig Flickr-Sonnenschein gönnen. Vielleicht sollte ich an meiner (klanglichen) Kratzfestigkeit arbeiten, um, nach so langer Zeit des Nichtspielens, die ersten Stunden des Katzenjammers zu überstehen, bis es wieder rund klingt ;-)
Dies ist, Ihr habt es schon erraten, ein Teil des F-Lochs. Ich habe hier bewusst auf geringe Schärfentiefe gesetzt, um den Charakter von Musik, von Klang generell zu verbildlichen. Wir können ja oft gar nicht definieren, warum wir ein Musikstück mögen oder einen bestimmten Klang geradzu hassen. Musik, Klang bewegt, so oder so.
Ich habe heute viel zu tun und kann hier nur gelegentlich reinschauen. Ich hoffe, heute Abend wieder mehr Zeit für Euch und auch den MM zu haben. Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne neue Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde, passt gut auf Euch auf!
Even the darkest night is gonna end. The longest night won't last forever. Dense mist will be blown away. Light is stronger than darkness.
Recent winter was not much cold. But at some moments cold seemed too strong. Like here. And finally the spring comes.
Thank you for all the comments and faves, dear friends.
What happens when you get two days off in the middle of the week? Your rewarded with cold, gray, and overcast days. I went to a local lake thinking I would shoot some long exposures with these dead trees sticking out of the water but it turned out that the water was so still that all I needed to do was compose the image.
I found this area with some rocks above the water and played around with it. I ended up lightening up the foreground rocks to add an element to the viewer. Not sure if it works well or not but it was the best capture of the day. As always, thank you so much for viewing my images and commenting when you see fit. Take care.

One day you struggle, and I come to your aid.
The next day I struggle; your friendship never fades.
Life challenges never end.
It's how we choose to deal with them, my friend.
We can overcome together in any kind of weather.
We can celebrate life through the strife.
The chains of bondage were meant to be broken.
A chord of three once thought is now spoken.
Keep shining your light and I will shine mine.
Abandoned things will heal over time.
Thank you for your kind favs and comments. I pray you all have that one rare friend that sticks it out with you to the very end.
Thinking will not overcome fear but action will. -W. Clement Stone
I had to overcome my fear of being in a very dark wooded area to capture this shot, I was quite spooked but had to get a shot of this tree that I was happy with.
The shot was taken after midnight and this was probably the fifth picture on my stream from that night.

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know
This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face?
Why can't we overcome this wall?
Baby, maybe its just because you didn't know you at all
Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, not consolation
Oh, you know it makes me so angry
'Cause I know that in time, I'll only make you cry
This is our last goodbye

Definition of We Shall Overcome from the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary
We Shall Overcome
BrE ; NAmE
Add to my wordlist
a song used during the civil rights movement by African Americans and their supporters to show that they intended to overcome prejudice and segregation. Mahalia Jackson often sang it at their meetings. It was originally a song, and includes the lines:
"Deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome some day."
Mahalia Jackson---We Shall Overcome
We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
We shall overcome someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.
The Lord will see us through, The Lord will see us through,
The Lord will see us through someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.
We're on to victory, We're on to victory,
We're on to victory someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We're on to victory someday.
We'll walk hand in hand, we'll walk hand in hand,
We'll walk hand in hand someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We'll walk hand in hand someday.
We are not afraid, we are not afraid,
We are not afraid today;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We are not afraid today.
The truth shall make us free, the truth shall make us free,
The truth shall make us free someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
The truth shall make us free someday.
We shall live in peace, we shall live in peace,
We shall live in peace someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall live in peace someday.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜 💕💕💕

I'll overcome
Silent songs I'll be humming on
'Til you sing along
Come as you are, ignited
Some lights are a different kind
Never burning out
Do you ever wonder what it's like
Losing what you cannot be without?
I'll keep running
I'll try
I'll overcome
Fading stars echo
Reminding us they know
We've come too far to let go
Don't let go

Brown Pelican, Pelecanus occidentalis, over the Cape Fear River in Wilmington NC. Spur-of-the-moment choice to take a river cruise—which turned out to be very nice—but only had my wide lens because I thought we would just be out on the street that morning.

The road to a new normal is a race won with perseverance and prayer, not speed . The one who finds the spiritual discipline to realize that he or she cannot do this on their own is the one who will find the strength of the one who is, who was, and who will be. In letting go and trusting our Creator to be our dragonslayer we will overcome what seems unsurmountable. In plain english, when we are weak, our Creator’s strength can be made visible.
