A Pysanka for my Easter Basket, by Nadia Starovoytova (via Yevshan)
A Ukrainian girl in folk costume admires a pysanka, as she prepares a basket for blessing. The fine details of the flowers framing the work, as well as birds, butterfly, chicks, and a church in the background glorify the joy and traditions of Ukrainian Easter! Over the centuries, and around the world, eggs have been a part of spring and Easter celebrations because of their association with rebirth and renewal. They are the oldest universal symbol associated with celebratory spring rituals. Coloring them is a spring tradition that also dates back to prehistory. In Ukraine, eggs were decorated and given as gifts, as good-luck talismans for the home. The tradition is continued in the art of pysanky.
My Ukrainian Easter print’s finally arrived! (<- A birthday gift from Italics.) Now that I’ve got my Alpha (Easter) and Omega (Harvest) it’s time to mat’n’frame the pair!

Just beautiful. I had deep pangs of longing to be in the canyon again as we wandered in the mountains next a stream yesterday. I so wanted to jump in that water, and I remembered long rambles up the wash, floating in canyonriver song, monarda and mullein and sweet clover pesto…beaver stew….
medicine lodge, goddess lodge, wood stoves and all the canyon wonderfulness. Give my deep love and gratitude to all the canyon inhabitants and the canyon herself.
Breathtaking!
Gives me such a sense of peace, beauty and love, a picture truly does speak a 1000 words
