Day 11 - Cherished

 A plump sparrow sits atop a tasty cupcake with an icing rose nestled against a background of warm pink tones. Roses are traditionally symbolic of love and friendship which I think most of us know.. but did you know that in ancient Greek mythology, sparrows were considered a symbol of love too?  In fact the sparrow was the sacred bird of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. They are also known for their bravery and creativity and in some cultures, if a sparrow flies into your house, there will soon be a wedding in your family.

Since this one is all about the love, I titled this one "Cherished".  And yes, the whole time I was typing this, Cherish the love by Kool in the Gang was playing in my head...

Cherish the love we have
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
