Taken in Tahoe The picture is of a bunch of snowakes that have landed calmly in a body of water. The meaning or theme of this photo is calmness and beauty. A snowake is extremely delicate, and being able to see the beauty of how such a delicate thing could rest so easy on a bed of water really strikes me as interesting. The snowake resting on the body of water is a symbol of peace and beauty. I like this picture because of how beautiful it is. The beauty is what makes it so poetic. Looking at this photo, it reminds me of my time in Tahoe, and brings back extremely fond memories and feelings. This, in turn, calms me, and makes me feel delighted.

The painting is of a lion, staring, almost glaring, strongly into the distance. The meaning of this painting is strength. A lion is consistently used as a symbol for strength and power in TV shows, books, and movies, and this painting does the very same. The lion is a symbol of strength, its stern expression is a symbol for experience and knowledge, and the staring into the distance is a symbol for patience and waiting. I like this painting just because of how intense it is. The raw power emanating from the lion's glare gives the painting a sort of power that feeds into the viewer, which is why it is poetic. I feel that the artist did a very good job in portraying the many di!erent expressions and symbols in the painting.
