Today, many people celebrate Palm Sunday, a week before Easter Sunday. These spiritual celebrations come amidst spring in the northern hemisphere. I have always felt a sense of renewal and awakening as spring scents fill the air with flowers, while birds and other creatures seem to wake up and enjoy warmer temperatures.
“Springtime is the land awakening.” – Lewis Grizzard
On the heels of my daughter’s wedding yesterday, we bask in the afterglow of watching my youngest marry her groom. More about the wedding in a later post. For now please enjoy this brief post with images of the world awakening.
“Blossom by blossom the spring begins.” — Algernon Charles Swinburne
“There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them.” ― Jo Walton
“A Sunrise is God’s way of saying, “Let’s start again.” ― Todd Stocker
Inspiring Photo Challenges This Week
Each week I am inspired by my fellow bloggers’ photo challenges. I enjoy incorporating these into my Sunday Stills weekly themes.
How To Participate in Sunday Stills Photo Challenge
The Sunday Stills weekly-themed photo challenge is easy to join. You have all week to share and link your post.
- Remember to title your blog post a little differently than mine.
- Please create a new post for the theme or link a recent one.
- Entries for this theme can be posted all week.
- Tag your post “Sunday Stills.”
- Don’t forget to create a pingback to this post so that other participants can read your post.
- I also recommend adding your post’s URL to the comments.
Travel Reminder
Due to family time and travel as we continue our road trip, I won’t share round-up posts on my blog while on the road, but I will read and comment on your posts from my phone (thank you, Jetpack App). Normally I include your lovely post links in my round-ups during the week but I will not be able to take the time to work from my laptop in order to do this. Please visit your fellow bloggers’ links in the comments section.
Upcoming Posts
