Great stuff as always. I love the picture of the flower. That says it all.

Thanks everyone. :) Symbolism often comes through naturally (as it should) but occasionally we need to tweak things to enhanse an idea, theme or feeling. I hope these entries help!

Julie, thanks for passing on that link. I didn't know about it and I love it when people let me know about features on The Bookshelf Muse--it totally makes my day. :)

Have a great weekend, all!

Your posts are so thought-provoking. Many of these images I never thought of in relation to perseverance, and yet they make complete sense. Thanks once again.

And thanks again for your tweet, which helped me reach the 100 follower mark!

You probably already know this, but Anita Nolan blogged about your blog! In case you haven’t seen it, it’s at http://anitanolan.wordpress.com/2010/05/28/symbolism-thesaurus/

I never thought about trying anything like that. At least not on purpose. If I’ve got any of those types of symbolism, it’s been accidental.

The dung bug image is classic!

I love this site! And you’ve made my day – I’ve sprinkled many of these in my WIP in hopes that others would interpret them as intended. It’s good to know the Bookshelf Muse backs up my instincts.

I love these! There is always something that makes me say “hmmmmm”

Once again this is a great entry! I really use your site a lot, and love it…refer friends to it all the time. BTW, thanks so much for the link to the Civil War…I’ve spent 2 years doing my research for this novel, and can’t figure out how I missed this site. It’s fantastic! Oh, yeah, sorry you didn’t like the Percy Jackson movie…now I know I’ll stay away!

So nice to see not everything can or should be disposed of with a nod or a shrug or a shake of the head.

This is a good one, and so crucial as the make or break for some characters. Makes me think, too, about the perseverance in my own life.

Have a great weekend! :)

Yes! And it’s fun when the rhythm plays with the image. Do you know what I mean? I can’t ever plan it, but when it happens it’s really cool.
