A resurrection of sorts
I intend no blasphemy whatsoever in the title of this piece, other than to suggest that what is is a resurrection than the rebirth of life. I found this pretty little tulip lifting its head out of the prosaic and functional composting box as a perfect metaphor for the time of year.
Spring is about rebirth, much as for Christians, Easter is about rebirth and life and hope springing eternally.
However you view it -- and I don't reveal my spiritual convictions any more than I reveal my politics, mainly because both areas of life are 'my own' -- the primary wonder of nature and this Creation upon which we live, is that it invariably renews each year, and from a bunch of rotting and seemingly dead plant matter comes a vibrant and hopeful blossom just to let us know that with life there is always hope.
May you all have a good Easter, no matter how you celebrate it, and no matter what it means to you.

Happy Easter to you too. I also have green sprouts of various plants growing out of my composter. You gotta admire them, reaching for the light through our old potatoe peelings and coffe grinds.

I hope you have enjoyed Easter. Michelle
Cool. I want a composter for my birthday.
Does that make me weird?
Oh how lovely Ian! You never know where a bonny flower may decide to grow. Such a delightful picture. Hope you enjoyed the holiday.
That's a great analogy.
Hope you had a great Easter too.
I once saw a crocus blooming against all odds out of a granite boulder in Central Park, NYC.
I needed to see it at that particular time as I was feeling hopeless. I took the lesson to heart, and realized that with determination, anything is possible.
Happy Spring to you, too!
