Easter Sunday
An Easter Sunday morning walk beside the precious mountain stream
amongst the carpets of sweet celandine and purple violets at their edge.
Peeping shyly, hiding, coy and timid in their beauty.
While clumps of primroses, so full and brightly yellow are
not the least bit bashful of their hue as they
compete with golden daffodils along the river’s bank.
While all around is greening and every plant and shrub is budding, simply bursting into life.
And all the while the river sings her song
and birds join in the chorus as she flows.
But I detect a brightness in their tune,
a tinkling sound of joyfulness is in their melody,
as if they too can tell it’s Spring and
they can also see and feel God’s beauty in our midst.

Cait, thank you for bringing your spring all the way to this city. I was able to feel nature's gift.

That is very beautifully written, Cait - and very true. The birds really do seem to know that the change is all around us. I do hope you're feeling better soon...

Absolutely lovely, and love the Paul Henry picture
As ever, a lovely post - you take us with you to so many great places - thank you!
Dear Cait,
Yes, that's a Pre-Raphaelite artist, who did the painting, at the top of my Dear Same Old Sally post. I too, love it.
And if you click on the little {blue} 'Source,' under the painting... It will take you to the Net site, where I got this Waterhouse painting from. And a lovely, lovely site, it is. :-)
Gentle hugs,
'Aunt Amelia'
And a lovely, lovely post - this is! Oh how wonderful to be surrounded by this much Spring, already.
Not so here, as yet. We're colder, I guess.
But it will come... It will come... :-)

My apologies for arriving here late Cait, just catching up.
I adore the picture, and enjoyed reading the lovely walk.
A wonderful post Cait.
