Photography On Odyssey: 4 Meanings Behind Flowers You Can Find In Your Own Backyard

1. This is a small bundle of Japanese cherry blossoms.

These represent the fragility and the beauty of life. They serve as a reminder to make the most out of the crazy, beautiful life you have been given- because it has an unknown limit.

2. The Dogwood tree is symbolic of a "perfect cross."

It began to be associated with Easter and the sign of new beginnings, as it blooms when Spring weather comes about. Most dogwoods are white, but pink and red ones represent passion and love. The flower itself, along with the image of a "perfect cross", is additionally symbolic of strength, protection, and firm will.

3. Just like some people render these blossoms as an "Ode to Spring."

They, bring joy to me as I see them being to bloom. The fluffy pink flowers make me excited for the new season and remind me that happier and carefree times are about to begin!

4. The dogwood tree in my backyard is out-lived by my cherry blossom tree.

The gift of this bloom doesn't last long in comparison, but the beautiful flower is a constant reminder and symbol to me of healing- after all, that's how it was used in American wars; to cover wounds, but also that is what Jesus did... heal. It's not an extravagant sight, but a humble one- and the Lord wishes us to be humble within ourselves every day.

I hope you enjoyed!

Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing!
