Greek Easter - A special 20th DD walk- Corona 2020

Many lives around the world feel like this :

Cocooned, hopefully protected, covered by a firm film of opacity but with shards of light filtering through.The photo was captured on a walk with the ever exuberant Dougall just a day or so ago. The path is often the same, the scenery, and nature's trajectory constantly surprising.  

It's the Greek Easter Celebrations today with many Greek people around the globe celebrating the resurrection of Christ, if not in church, then around the dinner table. Church services have not been held this year but there have been no shortages of postings of candles and icons, not to mention the traditional baked goods of Easter breads, tsoureki, red eggs and the Cypriot Flaounes. With my family not here to share all of this, we shall have Easter goodies over Xmas as a double celebration assuming we can by then travel and be with one another. 

For the time being stay cocooned but take hope and courage in new life, new beginnings and a world pared back to common shared values and love for one another. This is the gorgeousness we encountered a little later on the walk. A tree buzzing with butterflies and bees. Perhaps my favourite photo of all, the butterfly sharing the nectar with a bee.

No more hoarding or stockpiling. Its one thing to think of saving up for a rainy day but it is another thing to go over the top and this spider illustrates this beautifully ! He wont be getting any refunds.

And as if to complete the special nature of the day a plane was up in the sky giving us some messages for those more religiously inclined - but which we, the less inclined, could also appreciate.

And finally the Easter Miracle in our Household, one we have waited for years...Charles is back in the kitchen baking bread in his Qantas best.
