The gloom of Good Friday was gone, replaced by candles and translucent white material. |
The church was full of people. They lined up to place artificial flowers on the cross that had previously been bare. |
Diana finds a spot near the floor for her addition. |
Diana returns to the pew to rejoin her parents and her brother. |
No one has uttered the word "Alleluia" since Ash Wednesday. |
Allison had no clue that Dave was going to propose to her. She was overwhelmed with emotion... and then said yes. |
Here is the newly engaged couple. |
Lovely plants for Easter. |
Linear bike path. |
Me and my shadow. |
Reflections on a clear day... |
A tree in early spring... |
This bird was running down the bike path. Apparently, birds have as much of a need to jog as humans do. What sort of goodies do birds get on Easter? No calories, right? |
"All right, already! That's enough jogging for one day! Could it be time for a... swim???" |
A warm spring day is good for canoeing in Woods Creek and exploring Buckhorn Island State Park. |
The creek is very wide at this point. |
Crocuses add new color to a rather dull landscape. |
Here is a lovely clump of crocuses. Or are they croak-eye? |
A swing, waiting for an occupant. |
The rain creates this mini-lake. The clay soil, so common to this area, is slow to absorb water. Hence, it pools into these mini-lakes. |
In front of the house, at the end of the little adventure, I spotted this bee exploring the crocus.
Happy Easter! Have a great day!

My manager at work talked about the beautiful Easter service they had at her church - complete with the flowers at the altar. It was beautiful to see your photos describing what she had talked about. And the marriage proposal was a wonderful addition to an Easter service. Thank you for sharing your "life in upstate New York" photos with us.
