Periscope Daisies - Photography
What do daisies symbolize? Daisies are a type of wildflower from the aster family that bring sunshine into people’s lives. The name “daisy” was derived from “daes eage,” an Anglo Saxon term. A daisy was called “daes eage” or “day’s eye” because these flowers open during the day and close during the night.
What Do Daisies Symbolize?
The ancient Romans explain the origins of the daisy with a myth involving Vertumnus, the god of gardens and trees. Vertumnus, like many Roman gods, had an eye for beautiful women. One day, he saw Belides, an innocent wood nymph, dancing with other nymphs. He wanted her, but she had no desire for him. In order to avoid Vertumnus, Belides turned herself into a bellis flower. Bellis is the scientific, or genus, name for daisies.
The Celtics also connected daisies with innocence. They believed that daisies came from the spirits of babies who had died during the birthing process. The daisy flowers grew in order to lighten their parents’ grief.
Daisies have their place in Christianity. One legend has it that the daisy grew from the Virgin Mary’s tears. In fact, daisies are sometimes used to symbolize Christ and the Virgin Mary. You will also see the daisy as a motif in artwork from the medieval period as a symbol of Christ’s innocence when Christ was a child.
Another Christian legend describes how the wise men were looking for a sign of where the newborn Christ was located. When they saw groups of daisies near a stable, the wise men knew they had found Jesus as the daisies looked like the star that had led them to Bethlehem.
The Victorians had affections for daisies. Chanting, “He loves, he loves me not,” while pulling a petal from a daisy originated during this time.
Today, the daisy continues to stand for innocence, purity and love.

Female Anthropomorphic Egyptian Gods
Several Egyptian gods were associated with trees: Horus with the acacia, Osiriswith the willow, Ra with the sycamore and Wepwawet with the tamarisk, for example; but none of these male Egyptian gods held associations with trees as closely as did a number of female goddesses. The sycamore was especially regarded as a manifestation of the goddesses Nut, Isis, and Hathor - who was given the epithet ‘Lady of the Sycamore’, and there were also a number of minor tree goddesses. These deities were represented in a variety of ways. Images of trees labelled as goddesses are known and fully anthropomorphic personfications of tree goddesses are also found, though the most usual depiction consisted of a composite of the upper body of the goddess rising from the trunk at the center of a tree. Many such representations show Hathor, Nut, or some other goddess reaching out from a tree to offer the deceased food and water. Sometimes only the arms of the goddess were shown proffering food or water, and in the well-known representation in the tomb ofTuthmosis III the king is shown being nursed at the breast of ‘his mother Isis’ in the form of a sycamore tree. The identification of several maternal deities as tree goddesses also meant that burial in a wooden coffin was viewed as a return into the womb of the mother goddess.

Personality Color Pink
While you may not exhibit all the character traits of a personality color pink as listed here, if pink is your favorite color you will find yourself somewhere in the description. You may also find you exhibit some of the negative traits, particularly when you are stressed.
Having a personality color pink as your favorite color means you are loving, kind, generous and sensitive to the needs of others.
You are friendly and approachable with a warmth and softness others are drawn to.
You are the nurturers of the world - you love to give nurturing and to receive nurturing in return.
You have a maternal instinct, with a need to protect and take care of others. You also have a need for this caring to be reciprocated as you do tend to neglect yourself in your determination to take care of the needs of others.
You are very much in touch with your femininity - this includes men who are in touch with their feminine side.
You are romantic and sensual and sensitive.
With your optimistic and positive outlook on life, you see the good in everyone.
You are methodical and organized, although you can sometimes be rather flippant when the immature girly side of pink appears.
You are refined, reserved, calm and non-violent which may give the impression of shyness.
You have a naivety, sweetness and beauty about you which can become girlish and immature in some.
You have a youthful appearance, even into old age, looking younger than you really are, even to the point of looking dainty, frail and vulnerable.
The challenge for you is to become more self-reliant and to learn to love yourself, then love and acceptance will be returned to you multiplied.

A spotlight’s shining brightly
On my face
And I can’t see a thing
And yet I feel you , looking my way
An empty stage
With nothing but this girl
Who’s singing this simple melody
And wearing her heart on her sleeve
And right now…
I have you
For a moment I can tell I’ve got you
Cause your lips don’t move
And something is happening
Cause your eyes tell me the truth
I’ve put a spell over you.
Beauty emanates from every word that you say
And capture the deepest thoughts
In the purest and simplest of ways
But you see
I’m not that graceful like you
Nor am I as eloquent
But just a simple melody
Can change the way that you see me
And right now..
I have you
For a moment I can tell I’ve got you
Cause your lips don’t move
And something is happening
Cause your eyes tell me the truth
I’ve put a spell over you..
All my life I stumble
But up here I am just perfect
Perfect as i’ll ever be…-Marie Digby
You seriously have a direct link to my soul today, my friend.
