Easter

Easter… my favorite holiday of the year for a couple of reasons.

First and foremost, Easter is special to me for its religious significance in my life. Without Easter we have nothing. With Easter we have everything. What more can I say. I am thankful for Easter, even though I hardly deserve it.

A second reason I like Easter is the symbolic rebirth we experience in our natural world. Easter is celebrated during the spring migration. Easter happens when wildflowers are beginning to rise again. Easter brings newness and an opportunity for each of us to reflect and take action, if necessary.

This morning I not only reflected on the primary reason for the day, but I also witnessed the natural revival that is underway. Following are images recorded today, Easter 2023. Details are in the captions.

The first image really hit me… an ordinary subject in a beautiful setting on a special day.
