Easter Morn

"Poor, dear, silly Spring, preparing her annual surprise!"
-  Wallace Stevens

This is the surprise we woke to on Easter morning. By the end of today it was gone.

Daffodils

The resurrection gives my life meaning and direction and the opportunity to start over no matter what my circumstances.  ~Robert Flatt

Happy Easter!

Birds in Flight

The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply that they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.~~J.M. BARRIE,

Gulls flying along the beautiful Lahave River in Bridgewater. 

 I love trying to catch them in flight.

 

Gathering Maple Sap

"Only with winter-patience can we bring the deep-desired, long-awaited Spring." ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Gathering maple sap the old-fashined way.

Canada was built on dead beavers. ~~Margaret Atwood

Gullible Gulls

"How much more there is now to living! Instead of our drab slogging forth and back to the fishing boats, there’s reason to life! We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill. We can be free! We can learn to fly!" 

Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.

This young gull was not disturbed in the least when we drove into the Home Hardware parking lot in Bridgewater. As you can see there's no snow on the ground. You have to come to East Dalhousie these days if you want to see snow. 

Winter Sunset

Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow,
And we, we were children once again.
~Bill Morgan, Jr.
