Today is the official first day of spring, the Spring Equinox, (in my hemisphere). It’s the time every year that our Creator says, in living color, “I haven’t given up on you yet.”
“Hope springs eternal in the human breast
Man never is, but always to be blest
The soul, uneasy, and confin’d from home
Rests and expatiates in a life to come”
~Alexander Pope

Great pics! Baby animals, including the human variety, are always uplifting for me. Thanks, as always, for adding to my day.
My privilege, Gail.
wonderful gathering, singing green to spring–thanks, Mitch
My pleasure, Christopher.
I particularly like the Pablo Neruda quote.
Me too, Liz.
*tries to clear lump from throat, fails* “We are the Easter people..” Amen. (Beautiful uplifting, reminder photos, too, Mitch. Thank you.) Happy Spring.🪻
You too, Carol❣
Spring is my really favourite season. Everything seems new and fresh. The pics are beautiful
Wonderful photos! 😊
Magnificent images of spring! Loved the one of Piglet-a sweet little piggy that has a special place in my heart. Margaret Atwood’s quote is my favorite. Thanks, Mitch. 🙂
My pleasure, Nancy.
I hope you have a good spring, Mitch.
Likewise, Andrew.
Thanks.
Love all the quotes and beautiful photos today. I think spring has finally arrived here. We had all four seasons in one day with a 15 minute snow fall this week. Enjoy your afternoon!
Nice
Thanks, L.G.
This is beautiful, Mitch. For the next two weeks on under1000skies the theme is Spring. I’m using some of the quotes you shared. ♥
Great, Niki❣

Precious and perfect~ happy Spring, dear friend! You bring joy every season!☀️💚
You too, and likewise, dear friend❣
Beautiful. 🌸
Thank you, Andi❣
Great post, photos and quotes 😀 Margaret Atwood’s being my favourite. There is something about the smell of soil that dispels all the concrete and brick from your mind for a short while. I was going to say it grounds you, but thought that sounded a bit corny 😉

You too, Ramani.
Beauty, whimsy, wonder, and wisdom all in one post! Thanks, Mitch!
